Bug Description

Zim could use a trash bin for deleted pages.

I would recommend a single trash bin for all notebooks instead of one for each notebook. Also, when there is a trash bin there is less need for a confirmation dialog, and it could be eliminated || made optional.

Interesting idea. We could just move the page to a special namespace on delete. I'm also thinking how this would integrate with version control.

In my opinion this should be per notebook, since the notebook contains all the context for the page. If we use a global thrash bin we should integrate with the standard desktop thrash bin.

Like the Trash idea a lot (no pun intended).

And it should be per notebook imho.

Update: Trash should probably just use system trash, that makes things a lot easier. The gio library has routines to trash to system trash.
