Put your trashcan into your desktop folder widget. KDE4

[Rudge]

 
In KDE4 it is widely accepted that your trashcan shows up only as a Widget that must be added, but I figured out how to get your trashcan into your folder view.

Open Dolphin
Go to the folder you want to display (Desktop) for instance
Right click, Create New, Link To Location
File Name "Trash" Or what ever
Enter link to location (URL): enter "trash:/"  
Click on "OK"

I used my Home folder as an example but Desktop would have worked just as well.

Your trashcan will now show up like this >

Does it show empty when you empty it?

Hmm, I didn't like that "crazy thing" called Widget on my desktop as well and instead added the trashcan to the panel. Looks better!

It works just like the widget

Right now it is actually empty, but the icon shows something in it.

That's what I found. In the end I put the widget back but on the opposite corner of the desktop well away from my icons.

Humm, mine works like a charm

I delete my trash can icon and added delete to right click

Over the years I've done this as well. I like clean and simple.
I've only taken years to learn.

Now - That's somewhere in Config your Desktop isn't it? Or where?

Thanks pirate. I'd never have found that.
