Description

When on ntfs volume that is mounted as user-independent in fstab (/mnt/Data) Thunar can't put anything into Trash. It is mounted with options "ntfs-3g permissions,users,auto,fmask=111,comment=x-gvfs-show 0 0".

Mounting it with options uid=xxx,gid=yyy would fix it only for one user, but not if several users use this volume. If you perform a search concerning this issue, you can see that it affects a lot of people, some of them mention that other file managers work fine with trash on ntfs volumes mounted in user-independent way - Dolphin for example. In my experience SpaceFM works in such conditions fine too. I like Thunar better than either of them, so it would be nice if it could be fixed.
