Re: Concerns about roadmap



hi;

the correct shortcut for moving a file to the Trash is Ctrl + Delete,
not Shift + Delete (which deletes the file immediately, bypassing the
Trash).

Ctrl + Delete has been chosen because Delete was too easily triggered,
and Nautilus didn't have an undo/redo system. if you disable the
Trash, deleting a file is a destructive operation, thus putting it
behind a two-keys combination is safer. you can easily find the bug
and the discussion on Bugzilla and this mailing list archives.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.

Thanks Dylan,

Your info is really appreciated. I'm noticing that maybe some stuff is
not related to Nautilus but Fedora's personalization... I've tried to
press delete in Ubuntu and it trashes the file as supposed, but fedora
doesn't, only allows shift+delete and it totally erases the file.
I'll try to update to the latest version so I can get the benefits of
the evolution.
Thanks again

Just as an FYI, lots of these are there in 3.9, though they may have

"close button for the windows without exiting all of the opened windows"
Are you possibly running Nautilus maximized? In 3.8 that caused the
title bar to disappear. In 3.10 it's going to have a close button at
the top right no matter what, in addition to Quit in the application
menu. You can always press Ctrl+W or choose Close from the location
menu, too.

"let use delete key to delete a file (or at least let choose the behavior)"
To be honest, this one does puzzle me a little whenever it comes up, but
let's see… You can always use Shift+Delete, of course, but there's some
new stuff as well. If you don't like having a persistent trash bin what you
really want to do is head to System Settings, open the Privacy panel and
tell it to purge trash Immediately.

"and also let apply the chosen view as default (everytime I open
Nautilus I have to choose)"
Under Preferences, at the very top of the Views page, there's an
option labelled "View new folders using…". That's the one you want.

I hope that helps a little!
