thanks, Joao and Hartmut for your comments. I'll try to elaborate a little more my situation.
personally I'm happy with the default behaviour of Xubuntu (I'm a gnu/linux guy since 2003). Now, I work as a sysadmin and I have about 40 workstations running Xubuntu for ex-WindowsXP users. (previously I tried different *ubuntus. the last one was Kubuntu but the users made lot of mistakes because of the bloated interface). then I choosed Xfce for the simplicity and everyone is happy with it. What I'm seeing frecuently, is some users suddenly "miss" files from folders and then I find out those files goes to the "trash". So, knowing that 99,9% is users fault, I'm looking a way to show a confirmation dialog to minimize these files "missing accidentally". I agree the default Xubuntu don't need these dialogs, but maybe a configuration switch would help. thanks again!

I select a file, right click and get a pop up menu with a number of options... one of them is to move file to trash, another is to delete. If I choose Delete I get a warning notification that the file will be permanently erased. Personally I'm quite happy with this, as there's no risk of accidentally deleting the file forever, as it can always be restored from the bin. So... the option is already there, Gustavo. If we start adding the same option to every single menu, we'll end up with a heavily bloated GUI like microsoft, in my humble newbie opinion. I like GUI as well and I find the right click options brilliant for most of the most used everyday tasks... I'm using xubuntu xfce... and loving it ever more the more I use it :) Joao On 25 May 2017 17:22, "Gustavo Sansone" < [email protected] > wrote: yes, you're right. but I'm also looking a way to ask user when moving to trash.
