Bug#1050650: eom: deletion fails with "Couldn't access trash."
Package: eom
Version: 1.26.0-2
Severity: normal
Hi!
When trying to delete a file, I get:
Error on deleting image IMG_12345678_1234_123_LL.jpg
Couldn't access trash.
In this particular case, the filesystem is mounted with jmtpfs, but I
guess this can happen for plenty other reasons. What matters though, is
that if whatever place eom tries to stick Windows-style "trash" into
has a layout not expected by eom, it will refuse the deletion at all.
I'd expect to be able to continue.
As, unusually, I can actually test Windows' behaviour today (where you
copied this idea from), and there it doesn't block the action, instead
slightly changing the wording depending on the filesystem layout the image
resides on: "Do you want to" ... "move to trash" vs "delete" ... "?".
I also recall a system somewhere that skipped any smarts, and presented the
user with two menu entries: "move to trash", "delete".
I can't seem to find any related settings in eom's preferences, nor any
hidden but semi-obvious combinations like Shift-Del.
Meow!
