Bug Description

When you delete a screenshot (i.e. pressing DEL), the file should be put in the trash. At least that is what the menu says. Instead the screenshot just vanishes from Shutter but remains safely in the folder. This creates chaos if you make lots of screenshots and do the selection in Shutter (which then means you have to do it again in Nautilus).

Could you please launch shutter via terminal, take a screenshot, delete it via DEL and finally paste the output here?
What distro and DE (Gnome, KDE etc.) are you using?

Deleting doesn't create any output in the terminal at all, not even in debug-mode. But I discovered that this seems to be not a general problem. When the screenshot is saved in my home-directory (on an ext3-partition) everything's fine. And I can also delete it via Shutter. When the screenshot is saved on a disk with FAT32-filesystem deleting doesn't work. I'm not sure whether it's a problem of the filesystem or the way it's mounted, but that's the way I'm able to reproduce it. Any idea what could be the reason?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 with Gnome.

Thanks for investigating. I can reproduce this with a NTFS filesystem as well.
It seems to be a bug. I'll have a look at it.
