On a normal volume, "delete" puts thing in Trash and shift-delete really deletes. On a read-only volume, "delete" really deletes. However when you try shift-delete, you would expect it to really delete here also. But nothing happens - no reaction to the key press.
Thus can be really confusing, especially if you have the habit of using shift-delete most of the time. |

On a normal volume, "delete" puts thing in Trash and shift-delete really deletes. On a read-only volume, "delete" brings up the same warning about really deleting*, which of course will fail. When you try shift-delete, you would expect the same warning. But nothing happens - no reaction to the key press.
Thus can be really confusing, especially if you have the habit of using shift-delete most of the time.
*I guess this is a known bug: it should rather warn that the file can not be deleted. |

Yes, it is still a bug :)
There should be some feedback when shift-deleting on a read-only volume. For instance, the same feedback as when pressing delete.
Related, but maybe worth a separate bug: it should not ask if I really want to delete, when I press delete (or shift-delete) on read-only volume. It should rather say that it is a read-only volume and that it cannot delete. |

Thanks for your bug. I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342105
The message being not optimal is a different issue |
