[digiKam-users] Wastebin - how to empty?

[Michael Hamilton]

I would confess to struggling to find it at first.  I thought it would be on a right
mouse action on the trash-can, like on Dolphin and other applications.  

Having opened the trash, the rather dark and small Delete... button, way over 
on the bottom right is easy to overlook (at first).  Once learnt, it's OK.  

I don't use digikam every day, and I don't empty it'd trash that often, so I do 
often forget how to.  Eventually I remember it's somewhere inside the trash 
can.

Having written a few GUI's, I would agree that it's sometimes difficult to 
imagine the user's perspective ;-)
