Can't delete files when trash is unavailable
If I'm e.g. trying to delete files from my phone (mounted with simple-mtpfs on /mnt/usb
), I cannot:
An error occurred when sending whatever.jpg to trash: Unable to find or create trash directory /mnt/usb/.Trash-1000 to trash /mnt/usb/whatever.jpg
Probably the best way to solve this is with a preference to disable the trash feature, since plenty of people eschew the trash entirely. A fallback to deletion might also work if it's consistent with Thunar etc. but that has the potential to surprise people. With a checkbox, you are blameless if someone disables the trash and then deletes important documents.
