Change Trash name (or date format)

Fri Jun 19, 2020 7:42 am

Hello,
I chose British English for my RPi because I want the date format to be like DD/MM/YYYY. But, as a consequence, the trash has been renamed "wastebasket".

How can I can change that name to have Trash (I tried with GUI, but I got the error : Operation not supported by backend), or at least the date format in the US English.

Thanks in advance,
DarkPatate

It is likely possible. Googling for "how to change trash name in LXDE" will likely get you the info you want.

Code: Select all

gksu pcmanfm
May allow you to change it.

Abusing the Location Messages may also be a solution. That a look at:

Unfortunately I don't run LXDE, nor to a use the Trash mechanism on any of my Desktops so I can't provide any more help.

I did the sequence on that post : https://askubuntu.com/questions/240431/ ... sh-to-crap
But the Unity function doesn't seem to exist. I tried to reboot, but still have the Wastebasket.
