Deleting in Nautilus

Postby viking60 » 23 Mar 2012, 16:14

In Gnome3 I cannot delete a file or directory without moving it to the trashcan first and then empty it. To get the delete option back when you rightclick the directory:

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences enable-delete "true"

That is what I did :-D
You will still have to confirm that you really want to delete it. To get rid of that:

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences confirm-trash "false"


This works in Cinnamon too.
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.
