Trash points to Kaffeine

For some reason, the desktop trash icon now points to Kaffeine!! I
can't enter the trash folder and have not found where to change it
back.

I would appreciate any help.

Dick.

Dick,

right click, properties, URL tab. It should point to /home/user/.Trash. Just modify the path and save.

Uwe,

Thanks for your reply. I can now see how to point at various folders
but there is no /home/user/.Trash. There is just my user name (dick)
under /home.

I have found /home/dick/Desktop/trash.desktop - is this the place where
delete puts data? If so I have pointed the trash icon to it and
clicking on it does nothing.

I am still lost! Any help will be appreciated.


Dick

Try changing the URL to:

trash:/

At least that is what mine says.

Dick,

..Trash is a hidden file. Either just add it or right click in the file selection dialog and show hidden files.

The way opesSuse 10.3 sets itself up, the above tab contains trash:/
not the name of any real directory. Exploration shows that the trash
directory is actually /home/user/.local/share/Trash.

(Why is the real trash location concealed? Where is the connection
between the trash:/ url and the actual directory established?)

I stand corrected.

You'd have to ask the KDE developers, I guess.

I thought everyone liked obfuscation isn't that called 'usability' ;-)

Thanks for all your help. I got fed up with it, and in the end
reinstalled SUSE 10.3 again. At least it works now.

Dick.

I have the same problem and it's pointinh to trash:/
But when I click the trasg icon it says : Mailformed URL trash:/

Pointing to /home/user/.local/share/Trash doesn't help either. Yes, I can
see my deleted files in that Dir, but when I try to delete a file it just
comes back into that dir. Yes, a deleted files is dropped in this dir, but
I can not empty that dir, because it keeps on coming back into that dir!
