KDE4 'move to trash' doesn't

vdemuth · 04-21-2009, 01:31 AM

Hi all,

The title really says it all. When using the 'move to trash' option from the mouse right click menu on either files or directories, while the pop-up notifier would suggest that the action is about to take place, it doesn't.
Eventually, (generally after several minutes/hours - delete as appropriate), the pop-up notifier states action complete, but the object in question stays where it originally is, whilst the trash can doesn't inherit it.

Anyone come across this, or should I be filing a bug with the KDE devs?

TIA

I'm using kde-4.2.2 with an install, not upgrade, from /current and just did this with a 5 mb file. No problem other than I had to figure out wher it went to since I don't have a trash icon on my desktop

Best option is to delete .kde folder and /Desktop folder and mkdir Desktop and start again.

If that's for me, my .kde is fine as I started with a new one in kde4 and I don't use ~/Desktop. I just create .desktop files and drag them directly onto the desktop.
