           Summary: Manual methods to trigger configured Trash cleanup
           Product: kio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: trash
        AssignedTo: faure@kde.org
        ReportedBy: matt@whitlock.name


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

When kio_trash is configured to automatically "Delete files older than" or
"Limit to maximum size", the automatic Trash cleaning only occurs when a new
file is trashed.  There should be a way to manually invoke the configured Trash
cleanup.

Ideas:

1. Expose a DBus method that manually triggers the configured Trash cleanup
policy.  A power user could call this method from a nightly cronjob.
2. Add a context menu option to "Clean Up Trash", which would be in addition to
the existing "Empty Trash".
3. Schedule a periodic background job that runs the Trash cleanup, so old files
in the Trash get deleted per the "Delete files older than" configuration, even
if the user is not trashing any additional files.
