Show filled trash can icon if items are inside

[probonopd]

Actually there is already code for that in Filer in placesmodel.cpp and it does show the filled trash can icon in non-Spatial mode in the sidebar of windows, but we also want this behavior here

But ideally we could do without trash:///, gvfs, Glib, and all of that. Just by finding out which directory the trashed items are kept in, and setting a QFileSystemWatcher on that. (Currently the icon on the desktop is just a .desktop file, that should go too.

Our stretch goal is to get rid of libfm and Glib eventually, so let's do this the Qt way.

Hey I'd like to contribute, I'm a graphic artist by trade, into coding and MIDI stuff by night, and currently working at trying to maintain a FOSS xTalk (HyperCard-like) script language. Is there a list of Icons you will be needing for 'Network' or External USB (Orange icon?) drives or whatever? Is

Hi @PaulMcClernan, thanks for chiming in.

Starting from user-trash.svg, do you think you could make a bulging one, maybe similar to the below but with the lid off?

[PaulMcClernan]

if you toggle between the two they should align I suppose I could fatten the full can so there's a bulge to further convey 'full'

I can convert to .icns format too if various px size bitmaps are still needed. Personally if it can do vector drawing and not be too laggy on limited hardware then I think SVG is the way to go, rather than generating a bunch of 1024x1024, 512x512,256x256, etc. bitmaps that eat hard disk space.

Thank you very much @PaulMcClernan. Highly appreciated. If you'd like to contribute some more icons and the various size bitmaps, we should consider opening a dedicated repository for the icons. Wdyt?

I'm totally interested in contributing more graphics work, install testing (I have a variety of hardware I can test on), and work on a scripting engine (got to have some 'AppleScript-like' scripting right?) , also probably want to learn Python / PyQt soon, so maybe I could help in that area at some point. I'm not completely unfamiliar with Python. Maybe I could use PythonCard (https://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/walkthrough2.html) hah!

I'm particularly interested in the QML bits of Qt as that could be useful with the OpenXTalk project, I'm interested in combining a JVM xTalk called OpenXION with PyQt for UI objects, and possibly use QML as Git-friendly GUI mark-up for use in representing xTalks stack/card/stackOjects/etc metaphor and then re-generate the UI from the ML via a parsing script. The OXT engine's ancestor (MetaCard) actually began its life on Unix, so it would be fitting if it could run there again (and on a Mac-like BSD to boot!) in some form at least. Ubuntu compatibility layer at least should work. OpenXION on the other hand could run anywhere there's a JVM (or maybe even without a JVM installed by using GraalVM natifier). Could maybe even use GNUStep for Cocoa-like objects via StepTalk? ....sorry rambling on there.

@PaulMcClernan would be great to chat with you! :+1:
