Comment 39 for bug 95853

I think Nautilus' behaviour is correct. The behaviour is by design, and the "confirm_trash" option is doing what it is supposed to do: Request confirmation for the non-revertable actions "Delete Trash" and "Delete files", but not for the revertable "Move to trash". And guys, please stop speaking for "the users" - 10 vocal guys on a bug tracker don't represent a majority of users.

That being said, I agree that a cluebar with an "Undo" button might be a useful _enhancement_ to Nautilus.

But this whole discussion also has a downside. Nautilus is not the only program which can move files to the trash, so that option would either make the desktop more inconsistent, or it would have to be implemented in all applications that can send files to the trash.

There might be another option: It's easy to monitor the trash, and act upon trash-related events, no matter which application caused it (Python code for having notification bubbles on trashing stuff would probably not be longer than this very post). So this feature would maybe better be implemented outside Nautilus.

Of course, there is already an application that does exactly this: The trash applet. So one possible solution would be to provide an option to make this one more noisy, and maybe provide a trashing-diary with undo buttons.
