How to config Trash for each partition ??

Can Trash be configured differently than default ?

I use 4 different partitions (dual boot FC13 and XP) and when deleting a file on an ntfs, it leaves a .Trash-500 directory. I would like to immediately delete stuff on ntfs (bypassing trash), AND leave the linux partitions defaulted to go into Trash.

Having .Trash-500 directory on the ntfs causes problems with windows that I have to resolve each time I forget and move files and directories between the systems.

How and where do you have these NTFS partitions mounted?

I only ask because on all my setups trashing is not supported on NTFS and I get prompted as to whether I want to immediately delete the files or not. They are not automatically mounted to /media.

You could also run a simple cleanup script at shutdown to remove those directories.

I have two drives, one for FC and the other for XP. The XP has two partitions, each are recognized by FC but not mounted. When I need something on the ntfs partition, I touch on it in the File Browser which ask for authorization and then mounted on /media.

Your right I could do a cleanup script, but was wondering if Trash configuration is easy to modify or play with.

If it was I probably would have just told you how instead of suggesting alternatives...
