Hello,<br>I don't agree with the disk-space dependent behavior. That would defeat<br>the purpose of "Trash", from the trash feature you expect to be able to<br>recover from a delete operation at least for a small amount time, it
<br>should be seen as a data safety mechanism and not as "nice to have"<br>based on the disk free space.<br>
</blockquote><div>Completely agree with you. <br>
</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">In my opinion, the lack of disk space should require some investigation<br>by the user, deleting data from trash/cache could be a tip, but not
<br>something to be done automated.</blockquote><div>However
this tip shouldn't be anything annoying (like ugly pop-up). There are
users who do know that their disks are full and don't want their os to
force them to do anything about it.<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I think the maybe "deleting to trash" should be a concept for the whole<br>system. All delete operations (command line and GUI) should do the same
<br>thing. Could "rm" be modified so that instead of getting rid of files<br>they are moved to the trash?</blockquote><div>It
shouldn't be done! When you "delete" files from Nautilus they are moved
to trash, not deleted. Look at the right click menu! And don't other
programs use rm too? It would be confusing if files rm'ed from /tmp
would end up in user's or root's trash (the trash is for files
"deleted" by user). The worst case would be if Nautilus uses the
modified rm! In that case everything deleted from trash would be back
in no time :)<br>
<br>
And if you want to delete older files first how would you determine how
long the file is in trash? Touching it before/right after moving to
trash is a bad idea, because in case you decide to restore the file
it's timestamps should be modified again.<br>
