ddigikam and wastebin maximum

upon deleting images in Digikam, program announces:

"The wastebin has reached its maximum size!
Cleanup the waste bin manually."

in fact wastebin is empty and can be used withiut restriction by any other program.

How t reset wastebin feature for Digikam?

thank you, Miel

It could be that it's reading Trash wrong. Try to empty trash in terminal, or cd Trash and see what's there.

Code:

---

gksu nautilus

---

Then in View select the Hidden files option so you can examine /home/username/.local/share/Trash

I think that the problem is caused by some setting within Digikam.
Because manually removing or dragging images from Digikam to the waste basked poses no difficulty.
So it is not a serious problem but I miss the ease of simply clicking the image with the Delete key in order to move it to the waste basket.
It is a curious phenomena that i would like to set straight.

If anyone can shed light on this challenge i will appreciate it. If not, I will muddle along for some time.
Thanks anyway for your attention,
Miel
