Deleting directories with Baobab (also known as Disk Usage Analyzer)


I noticed on a couple of my friend's computers, the baobab with Fedora and Arch Linux was able to delete folders by right clicking on them. The Baobab with Ubuntu does not have that feature. I then looked at then obtained the source code and ran ./configure --help, and saw nothing about enabling that feature.

It could be a patch that Fedora and/or Arch have applied. Best get the source packages from one of them and have a look.
It is probably also worth comparing the Baobab version numbers on Fedora, Arch an Ubuntu, as it may be a feature of a more recent release.

Cheers,
