Does anyone know how to add a fully working (icon changes) Trashcan to the Desktop Folder View?
I don’t want the plasmoid/widget on the Desktop or on the Task Manager Panel.
I can right click -> Create New -> Link to Location(URL), but the icon doesn’t change.
If the Desktop Folder View is a plasmoid, I guess I’m asking can a plasmoid (trash can) run inside another plasmoid (desktop view) %-) ??
Thank you.
I did the same thing:
right click -> Create New -> Link to location (URL) -> trash:/
The trashcan icon appeared automatically on my Desktop Folder View. Maybe I don’t fully understand what you want to do.

Just add the trash widget
The trashcan icon appeared automatically on my Desktop Folder View. Maybe I don’t fully understand what you want to do.
The trash can always appears full, even when empty. I guess this is it and user’s will have to live with a Trashcan icon that always appears full.
Just add the trash widget
Can’t add a widget to the Desktop Folder View. And, I don’t want a lone widget hang’n on the virtual desktop.
I have added the trashcan to the panel. I think the reason it is no longer in the Folder View by default is that the concept of the Folder View has changed. In one sense, it is a concession to those who still hanker after the traditional desktop - whereas KDE is moving away from that concept.
I know it’s not perfect but you could add the trashcan widget and move it on top of the Folder View.
