Garbage Can

Description:

Hi everyone,

some minutes ago, I tried to delete an email from my KMail-Inbox folder by dragging it to the trash can on the desktop respectively to the trash can kicker applet. It didn't work :-( Okay, I know, it's not about KDE4, but I think it's about user interface consistency. It should be possible to store deleted documents (or other objects like text-fragments - imagine deleting a passage in a KWord document would lead to an object in the trash can) in one place. This principle could also be enhanced to other "methods" like print: why have a print button in every application's tool bar? An adequate icon on the desktop or kicker, and dragging any file, email or even a window (why not?) to that icon leads to printing the doc.

----------

I have to add something: This idea seems to me to be someway related to proposals of gcorti concerning MVC. Therefore please look at http://www.kde-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=gcorti .

Seems to be a great idea.

oh oh oh ...And when we want to eject a CD we could drag the icon to the thrashcan, and it would automatically eject!!

Sorry, I had to post it.

On the more serious note, I foresee some problems with having a universal trashcan, that you talk about. Like users not understanding what mp3 files are doing in their "deleted mails" folder etc.

Beside that, I generally agree with you that more consistency is needed.

>>> Like users not understanding what mp3 files are doing in their "deleted mails" folder etc.

Okay, let's have a discussion about this point... do you have, outside your computer, a trash can for mail, one for documents, one for photographs, ... ? You perhaps litter banana skins seperately :-) but you don't do that with different kinds of documents, unless you put it into the shredder. Furthermore I don't really understand why we need a seperate application for storing and browsing emails. This is filemanager functionality! It shoud be a sub folder somewhere in my home folder, and the email client should be konqueror. Menus and tool bars should be adapted to mail client functionality when the mail folder is browsed.

Besides, if I want to store my mail separately, I don't do that in the trash can.

When I browse a folder on a CD, there should really be an icon in the tool bar (or perhaps somewhere else?) for ejecting it. Right now, I sometimes have serios problems with getting the CD out of the drive.

Actually we have separate bins for plastic, glass etc. It's the matter of environmental protection and recycling.
