Isn't this happening with GIO and Hardy Haron?

Implemented, I believe, in Ubuntu 8.04.

If this is implemented, there needs to be a shred option to go with it.

Looks like we need a way to mark "Already implemented in Hardy" and then in the future, Hardy+1, etc.

I understand that this is implemented. However, does it include an option to "restore" individual files and folders from within the Trash, as opposed to everything in the Trash at once?

I don't see what's wrong with things as they are in gutsy. Keep it simple.

I agree with Kendall.
Dragging it out of the bin and dropping it is too much of a pain!? If this a big complaint, Ubuntu must be doing very well indeed.
Actually, it doesn't bother me at all not being able to 'restore' out of the recycle bin. When I throw something away in the material world I have to go fish out of the bin by hand - kind of like punishment for throwing something away you really shouldn't have. So the way it is now just seems kinda 'natural'
byw, I'd like to congratulate and thank all the people who've worked and dedicated themselves for so many years to bring Linux to where it is today. Kudos.

Restore is not simply dragging from trash. It is restore to the same place the file was deleted from. Like in Windows.

I don't see how adding a restore option is different from keeping it simple.
If you never want to restore files, you can still empty the trash or drag files to new locations. You wouldn't even see the restore-from-trash option unless you right-clicked on the file in question.
Adding a restore-from-trash option does not make an already long list of options longer. It allows for an unused list (the context menu) to get used if one wants to. If you want the current functionality (empty trash or drag to new location), there's no need to right-click, so you wouldn't even see the restore-from-trash option.
It's not just Windows that has this. Thunar and Konqueror do as well. It's time Nautilus caught up.

No offense to SGusto, but using a real life example of trash picking is a lame defense for a lacking feature in gnome.
Is it too much of a pain to drag things out of the bin? YES, IT IS. Especially when what you've deleted (or accidentally deleted) needs to be placed back in the file structure exactly as it was. Who actually enjoys navigating the file structure to determine where to drag something out of the bin? Seriously, this feature has been around since the windows 95 days. That was more than 13 years ago! How is such a basic feature continually being overlooked?
Actually, after looking at alexandreracine's link, it's really kinda funny that its taking 8 years and counting for the gnome team to figure this thing out. At this rate, I'm gonna have to say this ties Sun's 64-bit java plugin for epic fail.

I agree with quarterly SGusto.
If some idiot drags stuff into the trash while you aren't looking, you wont know where it is front. A proper trash helps with that.
Linux is about Flexibility. We should provide as many options as possible to end users in a clean way. This can be done cleanly.
