How do you disable the "move to trash" function in KDE 4.5.5
I would like to remove the option to send files to my trash bin... instead I want to delete files just like the rm command does... I want to be able to do this from all programs "Open/Save Dialog Boxes"
Thank you. |
I'm not sure about removing the option. How about adding a Delete function in addition to "Move to Trash"?
Under Configure Dolphin, General, Context Menu; check "Show 'Delete' command". This will add a Delete option to the context menu. The short-cut key for Delete by-the-way is <Shift-Del>. As for having this available from all programs "Open/Save Dialog Boxes" will depend largely on the program using the Dolphin interface or it's own. Those that do use Dolphin for open/save dialogs will show the Delete option on the context menu. |
yeah i don't use dolphin... i use the cli... i need in other programs like in VLC... i would like to delete videos that i dont want but i only get "move to trash" context menu... and dislike to have to erase my .local/share/Trash folder everytime... and no i do not want to create a script...

One must assume you are using KDE and not the CLI when using VLC, which by-the-way, if you follow my directions you will find a "Delete" menu item on the contect menu when using VLC's file dialogs.
You can also change the settings for Trash to "Delete files older than 1 day", "Limit the maximum size" to 1%, and change "When limit is reached" to one of the delete options. |
One more additional option. I know you said you did not want to write a script, but jeepers all you need is this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh |
chrisretusn, awesome... that works... i didn't see that show delete button thing... that is exactly what i was looking for... i have a /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown with that line of yours =)...
Thanks a lot chrisretusn. pd. admins may erase this thread =P |
