Hello fellow Suserians,
I’m running openSUSE 11.0 with KDE 4.1.3, when I delete files from external drives (e.g. USB-stick) to the trash bin they get moved to my local trash folder. How can I change this behavior so that they are just placed in the trash folder on the external drive?
Just create a folder called Trash and move them there. That’ll do it. Strange idea.
SHIFT-DELETE
Gone forever
Yeah… thanks, not really what I was looking for though. There must be a real solution which doesn’t require working around the problem all the time? :sarcastic:
I want my pc to do what I want, not jumping through loops for its amusement. 
typically a desktop trash bin is just a file
called for eg: usb.trash
create a text file and give it a name like that
type the following:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Contains deleted files
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=trashcan_full
EmptyIcon=trashcan_empty
OnlyShowIn=KDE
Type=Link
URL=trash:/
X-SuSE-translate=true
Only you may have to edit the detail to get it to work. Or have you tried this. I’m flying blind with this myself. Just trying to give you an idea.
