trash settings

[Guest]

Hello!

Where can I find the trash settings? I want to limit the size of the trash to 1 GB.

Thanks,
Greg

Re: trash settings

Hmm - maybe this:

Deleting old items from KDE's trash bin on a regular basis
http://home.hccnet.nl/bram_s/linux/cleantrash.html

Only good for the trash bin

Although bash scripting is not a second nature to me, I'm able to implement some shortcomings on my system with it. One feature I missed in the KDE Trash was to remove old stuff. I wonder if there's anyone who has never got a trash of 3 GB or more. And totally forgot about it.

So this little script does the housekeeping. Once put in a cronjob, it will regulary check your trash and removes all files exceeding a certain threshold. At least I find it useful, so maybe some of you out there will like it too.

Or you could use this

HOWTO : Cleaning old KDE thumbnails
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3082403.0

Konqueror/Dolphin/Gwenview... puts preview pictures/thumbnails in the /home/user/.thumbnails/. There are no cache size limit / expiration date for these thumbnails.

And change this:

find /home/user/.thumbnails/ -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;

to

find /home/user/.local/share/Trash/files/ -mtime +30 -exec rm -fr {} \;
find /home/user/.local/share/Trash/info/ -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;

Not tested



Or if you are using SuperKaramba:

Same in the Kde-look.
