Subject: nautilus: dragging volume to trash provides even less helpful response

Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:56:27 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.22.1-1
Severity: normal

Attempting to drag a volume to the trash no longer provides the
(unhelpful and annoying) message that you should use Eject instead; now
it claims:

  Error while deleting.

  There was an error getting
  information about "Audio Disk.volume".

  > Show more details
  The specified location is not supported

Although I am of the opinion that dragging a volume to the trash should
eject the volume, because that's what everyone who does that expects it
to do, the current situation is a regression in helpfulness.  "The
specified location is not supported" is not at all helpful, and wouldn't
mean anything to me if I hadn't already known that nautilus doesn't
support trash-to-eject.

Please fix it to either restore the old message or support
trash-to-eject.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

version: 3.12.2-1

this is an old bug.

I'm closing this bug now since it seems obsolete.

It's not possible to drag volumes to wastebasket nowadays.

If you can still reproduce it feel free to reopen and provide more info.

thanks
