Found a build mistake in LL4.0

[MohamedKhaled]

I found a mistake in the recycle bin icon in linuxlite 4.0 it isn't the recycle bin applet but rather a launcher or shortcut to it it is clear because
1- you cant drag-drop stuff into it
2- you can't right click to empty it
3- there is no difference in the icon when there is stuff in it (its always green should be red when stuff is inside)

The fix to this is to right-click your desktop choose desktop setting > icons> tick the trash and it will show on your desktop
not that big of mistake but I really hope it to be fixed in the original disk the 3 points I wrote above are really important for everyday use and to maintain simplicity

Why are you calling this a build mistake??? If you had read the Release Announcement, you'd know exactly it's purpose. And why is this in Security and Bug Fixes?

1- I clearly read LL 4.0 release notes and can't see anything like that and even if you made such thing on purpose well tell me what we won because we lost

2- Yes build mistake is kinda stupid name but still its a mistake and I never insulted you, we all do mistakes and I thought that hopefully you can fix it and I even wrote how (not that you need that anyway) you keep on thinking bad of me for mistakes I made with other members although I always have good intentions
3- I won't reply in this post again, I had enough fighting with you again I will say that you told us to report any problems we face and I found a problem that many don't even know how to fix

Lite Desktop is a convenient way for you to get to frequently accessed locations on your computer. - As you can see there are NO claims that suggest that it behaves like a normal Trash icon. This is why I said you can't have read the Release Announcement, if you had, there is simply no other way to interpret the above quote. Don't try to claim that something is a 'build mistake' when its intention and purpose is clearly stated.

It's not a mistake, again, read the above for you to be very clear on this. If you insist on calling this a mistake, then all that does is show that your comprehension of stated text needs work. "you keep on thinking bad of me for mistakes I made with other members" what proof do you have of this? I need to see it.

Fighting? I've never fought with you. You now seem to be making things up now to make it seem like I'm being unfair to you. I can assure you, I treat everyone the same here. Yes you can report problems, but as I have now made very clear, this is not a problem. Let me state it one more time. The action of the Recycle Bin is, and I quote, "Lite Desktop is a convenient way for you to get to frequently accessed locations on your computer."

Moved to On Topic.

I'm not sure what is going on here and have no wish to get involved in flame wars, but, if the intention is to encourage windows users to move to a linux version which replicates windows as near as possible, then why not have a desktop recycle bin which can be drag and drop? Maybe I'm a bit thick and mostly use the distro as provided, so I'm guessing that the problem is to do with maintaining a standard icon set. I'd be happy just to know that is the case.
Relax and cheer up everybody.

[member=296]justme2[/member] the point here is to have people read information accurately, and to not make assumptions. By even providing all those desktop icons, we're already doing Win users a service.

That also does not imply that the recycle bin icon does not behave normally, hence MohamedKhaled's confusion.

OK, as I said, I'm not getting into flame wars of any sort and just realised it does not affect me anyway, as all but one of my machines are 32bit so will be retaining LL3.8

Just to satisfy myself I went back and re-booted 3.8 and found recycle bin is drag and drop so I'm sorted.
Thanks for making LL3, I'm disappointed I can't move to LL4 but that is my problem.

[member=296]justme2[/member] it seems you just don't get it, you're focusing on what you want to focus on, instead of what has been written.
