The confirmation before emptying the trash is often useless, as by the
time I have to empty the trash there are often hundreds or thousands of

Mac_v, Sebastien, Holger, I understand your point of view, and I partly agree
with you : basically, I think the way Nautilus runs is good. Deleting files is
possible without asking confirmation each time, and asking confirmation only
before the real deletion is really fluent...

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

Just putting in my 2 cents: Wouter's suggested idea is a fantastic
compromise. It allows power users to keep using the delete key without
being interrupted by having to confirm an action, but things that are
accidentally trashed can be quickly and easily un-done. It'll be
interesting to see what
Marking this as High importance because it deserves some user testing to
determine the appropriate solution.

I never said it was confusing.
Using ctrl-x and ctrl-v needs no confirmation (though feel free to make it an
option), and i don't think i need to explain why.
Konqueror by default (at least the version i'm using) actually asks you if you
want to move, copy, or link a file every time you drag and
not sure why you consider not asking confirmation for actions as
something confusing, do you want a dialog "you choose to cut a file are
you sure" to be displayed when doing ctrl-X too? and a confirmation "you
are going to move those files there" when doing a drag and drop
somewhere too?

This is rather disappointing. First of all, we don't need notification
bars, or fancy things to tell us we "accidentally" deleted something.
Second of all, why is upstream so determined to change the mindset of
the users?
This is really simple, add a small option somewhere in the settings

Perhaps we could have one of those yellow message bars that some
applications use, to tell you you deleted a file and providing a
button to cancel it? It is less intrusive and still provides a clue
about what happened and a way to undo it.

This is my patch (it's for SVN).

That's interesting because quite many NTFS-3G users complain to us
developers about Nautilus moving deleted files to the .Trash-username'
directory in the root of the NTFS volume they are not aware of:
http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#diskspace
Given that many people are confused in either case
Things get even worse if you are working on a ntfs partition using ntfs-3g.
In this case, the files are completely removed without asking, no trash
involved!
