trash plasmoid should show menu on left click

[Luis Silva]

Binary package hint: kdebase-bin

When left clicking on the trash plasmoid the default behavior is to open dolphin. On the other hand, right clicking on the trash shows a menu that contains both the "Empty trash" and "Remove plasmoid" options. From my point of view this is a usability problem since I already removed this plasmoid several times while just wanting to empty the trash. My suggestion is to show the trash options on a left-click menu and the plasma options on the right-click menu.

Clicking the green arrow that appears on hover will give you a menu dedicated solely to trash options.

That is not true when the plasmoid is on a panel. Sorry for not specifying that before. Setting it back to new.

I can confirm this report, however I don't know what the real solution will be. Maybe Celeste can view this report for usability. I don't think I would want it to remove files without me first seeing what is in there, so I kind of welcome the fact that it opens Dolphin to let me see what is in it. Anything upstream on this? If I find something I will link, that is if I get a chance to search. Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this feature request! Unfortunately, at this time Kubuntu does not have the developer manpower needed to implement and maintain many features at the Kubuntu level. This wish would best be reported and tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that it can be implemented by the KDE developers themselves. Once implemented in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the feature is implemented in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!
