            Bug ID: 424741
           Summary: Add secure delete to Dolphin/Plasma_Desktop
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 20.04.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: med.medin.2014 at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

I use two machines where I installed dual boot Windows and Manjaro, I have
exclusive access to Manjaro session but others can access Windows, the problem
is that one NTFS partition (non system) is shared by the two systems as storage
place for keeping data due to fear of sudden crash of any OS, and sometimes I
delete some of my private files (docx, pdfs, jpegs) without using shred command
(which always needs opening terminal and typing a command), this create some
insecure feeling that others can recover them from Windows sessions and spy on
the content without me knowing.

What I like is if it's possible to add a really high secure delete (like
Gutmann or DoD) to dolphin right click contextual menu, this way everyone can
delete private files without requiring to keep typing shred commands on
terminal. It would also be cool to have this option for Plasma Desktop.

I tried searching service plugins for Dolphin and found one called
"KDE-Services" which has not been updated since 2017-12-27, in fact I don't
like to use third parties plugins provided by non authentic KDE developers,
because they are always not well tested and not updated to comply with latest
API changes in Dolphin or system.
