<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The Wastebasket is not something I use.
For my workflow I'd ideally prefer not to have it at all and just
delete photos and they're gone. I'm not against the Wastebasket
but I'd prefer an option to relocate it or disable it.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Having said that, it's not a big
problem. It's not really a problem at all. I delete files, then
empty the Wastebin. There are lots of utilities that contaminate
my file directories with thumbnail and trash folders. (Contaminate
feels like an unnecessarily emotive word but I can't think of
anything more neutral - I don't mean it to sound pejorative.)
Geeqie, gthumb and thunar don't see to have options to have a
separate location for thumbnails for instance, and when I'm
deleting files from my trailcam SD card I need to take care not to
end up with lots of mystery space usage. I try to maintain my
image directory structure just as simple jpegs with the exif data
written to the file. I find that most portable and easiest to
backup. For backup I use rsync to write to a NAS drive and a
separate server, remembering to use
--exclude=/store/media/image/.dtrash and occasionally I rm -rf
/store/media/image/.dtrash <br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I've come from Shotwell and there are
still lots about digiKam that I need to study, such as versioning.
I absolutely love how robust digiKam is in detecting file-system
changes - this is amazingly useful, and not having to go through a
formal 'import' process but just copying files to where I want
them is great. If running rm -rf on my .dtrash directory
occasionally is a bad thing to do, please let me know and I'll
stop doing it.<br>

.dtrash are an hidden subdirectory hosting all delete files for
the collection. I located to root place of the collection to be
portable. Ex : for removable media.

<div>Also, if you place .dtrash in another partition (removable
or not), deletion will take age to move files from a
partition to a new one.</div>

<p>Is it possible to specify a different location for the
.dtrash directory? It seems to default to the top-level of
the collections directory. I'd prefer to have it somewhere
else, like my home directory.</p>
