Move to Trash contect menu item does not move files to trash

[kgaramszegi]

When I try to Move to Trash a file in the Rhythmbox list, it is marked with the red sign, but does not get deleted. Restarting Rhythmbox does not help, the file survives.

Additionally, the files are on a SMB share, if that is relevant.

I can confirm this, it happens on any partition that is not your current instalation's.

But is this a bug? When attempting to delete a file in Nautilus, if the file is in another partition it will tell me that it cannot move the file to the Trash folder. Maybe this behaviour is intentional?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

I can confirm this bug is still there in Ubuntu 14.04, with Rhythmbox 3.0.2.

@Caio Alonso You are right, Nautilus does not allow to move a file to the trash from another partition. But it is hard to believe that this behavior in Rhythmbox is intentional. (It's just that they didn't think about that.) To the end user it will only be perceived as a bug, which is moreover very unconvenient as the user has to manually delete the file from Nautilus (or in command line). Plus, when trying to move a file to trash in Nautilus, it asks you if you want to delete it immediately, so your intention to remove the file is finally achieved.

Rhythmbox should at least give the option to remove a file immediately, just like Nautilus.
