Bug Description
[I tried to file this with the standard ubuntu-bug, but got this reponse: "The problem cannot be reported:
This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again."
Well, I suppose it's true - If I remove Nemo, I cannot have a Nemo bug... Still, this seems like throwing out the baby with the bathwater...]
----
I have Lubuntu 13.10 (originally 12.04). I added Nautilus, as pcmanfm had problems, and also so that I could have it show date/time for photos under the thumbnails, so I can easily group them.
[The current version of Nautilus does NOT have the option of selecting the type of date displayed under the thumbnails in the preferences, so I had to install Nemo, which still can. I retained Nautilus, for some reason, and the bug is true for both apps. ]
When I copy photos from my USB-attached camera, I send them to trash when I am satisfied the copy was successful.
When I had regular Ubuntu (various versions prior to 12.04) and clicked on "Eject" or "Safely remove drive", or whatever, I was asked whether or not I wished to empty the trash or not.
At some point in Nautilus' development, some things changed, apparently before Nemo was forked (as both exhibit the same problem).
Now, there is only one option: Eject (or the equivilent clicking on the eject icon next to the device name).
Now, when I select "Eject" or click on the icon, I am NOT asked if I want to empty the trash. I have repeatedly attached/removed the camera and tried both the context item and icon, but am not asked about the trash.
I have to separately "select all" files in the two Trash sub-directories and click shift-del (and confirm that I wish to permanently delete the files).
Why is Nemo not asking me if I want to empty the trash?
[Awhile ago, there was some discussion about the USB removal options that used to be present: "Eject", "Safely Remove Drive", and I think there might have also been a third one. I imagine the consensus was that having multiple options for essentially (literally?) the same operation was probably confusing to the user, and therefore the options were reduced to "Eject". Am I correct? The Trash ought to be emptied, in any case...]

I filed this bug also for Gnome's Nautilus, because it occurs there too (obviously pre-dates Nemo).
I here list the bug page, in case any response there might prove useful to Nemo developers as well...
