           Summary: dustbin doesn't empty itself?
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: linux at drmartinus.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

I have made the following observation:
digikam reported that the dustbin is full and should be emptied manually. The
dustbin was set to use 10% of the hdd, which was about 60 GB. It also should
remove files older than 120 days. I hadn't undergone a thorough deletion party
recently with several GB of size, just the usual. So I would think that the
dustbin couldn't be full, because it would have removed files older than 120
days and thus provided space again. 
I removed some files from the dustbin (about 200 MB) by clicking on it and
deleting the files from within dolphin. However, digikam didn't stop
complaining. I deleted more files, still no success. I then increased the space
for the dustbin available (to 20%, i.e. 120 GB), also no change. The hdd had
about 360 GB free space. 
Eventually, I had to empty the dustbin completely by clicking on "empty
dustbin" in the context menu. However, I would have preferred to keep some of
the recently deleted files, because one is never sure...
The important thing is: I couldn't get rid of the "dustbin full" message except
by completely emptying the dustbin, even though the dustbin was set to remove
older files before it reaches its set limits, and even though it hadn't reached
the limit.
Unfortunately I didn't think of testing this in other apps which use the
dustbin, whether they also would produce the "dustbin full" message. But I
guess they would have.
