It would have to always match the ownership and permissions of its parent dir, but there's no way to ensure this is always true. Plus this doesn't solve the problems due to conflicting filenames (deleting a file with the same name in two directories). I think the idea described in http://urbanlizard.com/~aseigo/Trash_system_messages is more complete (it includes the ability to see the date of deletion, and to restore the mtime of the file when restoring it, etc.), and it fixes those problems. (The comment about "soon in KDE" in those mails is obviously wrong, the Corel guys never finished that stuff. I wonder if Nautilus uses any kind of metadata now, or if they only have that "per-partition Trash directory"). -- David FAURE, faure@kde.org, sponsored by Trolltech to work on KDE, Konqueror (http://www.konqueror.org), and KOffice (http://www.koffice.org).
