Public bug reported:
Background info (Kubuntu, actually):
Description: Ubuntu 19.04
Release: 19.04

Installed: 1:1.4+git20190121-2
Candidate: 1:1.4+git20190121-2

Something I've only noticed since upgrading from cosmic to disco:
I use Geeqie to sort through photos and to delete my failures. In the
past, I've hit the Delete key followed by Enter to confirm and then
moved on to the next image. Never gave this function any thought but I
have one machine still on cosmic so if you want me to go back and look
at how that works in more detail, I can do.
Now, if I press the Delete key while browsing images, I get shown dialog
box saying the file will be moved to the rubbish bin. The button to
confirm the action actually says "Delete" but clicking doesn't move the
file to the rubbish bin or delete it. It remains in the directory and
shown on screen. Same if I right-click and choose "Move to rubbish bin".
If I press Shift-Delete or right-click an image and select "Delete", I
get the confirm delete dialog box. If I click "Delete" from here, the
file is deleted.
I looked at keyboard preferences in the hope of binding Delete to the
working function but had no joy, despite double-clicking the Key field
as instructed by help. I also tried disabling the confirmation in
Behaviour but despite clicking Apply, OK and then restarting Geeqie, I
still get the confirmation dialog box.
It's not all bad news, though because there are a couple of work-arounds
(other than using shift-delete):
In Preferences / Behaviour is the option to Use system Rubbish bin
(default?) or Use Geeqie Rubbish bin location
(/home/$user/.local/share/geeqie/trash). If I change this option to
Geeqie Rubbish bin, things start to work, but it gives me another folder
to monitor and clean up from time to time. Changing this setting to
trash:/ also allows images to be removed, but confusingly, the image
doesn't appear in the trash. This second option is only suitable if you
are comfortable with the Delete key behaving like Shift-Delete (which I
am).
I suspect something doesn't sit right between Geeqie and KDE's system
Rubbish bin. Maybe it's something I just have to live with but by
reporting it, I hope it at least helps some people.
One more thing: I've checked /home/$user/.local/share/Trash/files and
that is empty.
