Workaround - create blank files on the removable drive named ".Trash-1000", ".Trash-1001", and so on as needed. Since it cant create a folder because a file already exists with the same name, it asks if it can permanently delete. At least this worked for me with a FAT32 SD card.
Kind of awkward having to copy those files to every usb drive or SD card I have, but it is less annoying than the default behavior. I only post this because this is where Google brought me and so it is probably bringing others here. -- Shouldn't put .Trash-$USER on removable devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
