Trash can bugs

[Aang]

Hello.
I have some problems with trash can on KDE.

1-I tried to put trash can icon on desktop as a plasma widget and I configured the desktop as folder view. There is a problem, the trash can icon overlaps the icons of files in the desktop instead of behaving like the icons of files.

2-Other problem, when I get a file back from the trash can, it is renamed to [0-"file name"].

3-The third problem is not a bug. Can I rename trash can or edit its translation package?

Thanks

2-Other problem, when I get a file back from the trash can, it is renamed to [0-"file name"].

Here the "Restore" - restores the file with the original name.

If i drag&drop the file from the "Trash" window to the another window then the file will get the "0-file name" format. ie Test.txt -> 0-Test.txt.

3-The third problem is not a bug. Can I rename trash can or edit its translation package?

a) Translation texts

Yes > How to modify the mo files in the lc-messages directory

1) Get the plasma_applet_trash.po
I grabbed it from > KDE svn trunk
2) Edit it with the Lokalize

lokalize - computer-aided translation system for KDE 4



3) Make the mo-file

msgfmt -o plasma_applet_trash.mo plasma_applet_trash.po

man msgfmt

NAME
msgfmt - compile message catalog to binary format

4) Replace the original mo file (Backup first !)
Here (fi) -> /usr/share/locale-langpack/fi/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_trash.mo

5) Test

> Localization of PO and MO files:

PO and MO files are the files of the Gettext library, which is commonly used in free software. Besides the implementation for the standard C++, there are implementations of the library for a lot of programming languages: PHP, Phyton, Perl, Pascal, Java and many others...

b) Dolphin Label

Edit the Dolphin entry label, Places > Right click the Label/Entry

Re: Trash can bugs

I did not know that it is very easy to edit texts and translate KDE components. It is a good tutorial, thank you very much.


I use cut & paste to recover a file. It works on Windows (I want to replace Windows... ).
It is easier to use cut & paste, because I paste the file directly to the folder that I choose. The original folder may have been forgotten or deleted.

Re: Trash can bugs

I think that the cut & paste problem is a bug of KDE, because this problem is not on Gnome, LXDE and XFCE.
