yes. gnoll

#

edit its .desktop and change name= line

#

idk look up where xfce shortcuts are stored ig

#

i don't know what you're saying

#

'where xfce stores desktop shortcuts'

#

try /usr/share/applications then

#

or Desktop

kind tree
#

add quotes around desktop and don't use google

#

common google L

#

why not

#

it works with ddg

#

yes but you’ll probably get the path of the application file in that thread

#

it’s probably just ~/Desktop though

Too few arguments for command note!

#

you want to rename the trash:// in thunar?

#

i understood you wanted to rename it on the desktop

#

so why is my information not relevant

#

did you try what i said

wintry tinsel
#

ill try and see

#

but its prolly under /usr/share/applications or .local/share/applications

#

hmn

#

lets see

wintry tinsel
#

??

kind tree
#

same process

wintry tinsel
#

@tight bough find ~ -name \*.desktop || find /usr -name \*.desktop

kind tree
#

probably po/en.po and /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/Thunar.mo

wintry tinsel
#

idgaf at this point

#

one of those oughta show it

kind tree
#

you need to recompile

#

why do you even want to rename the trash

#

what about changing /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/Thunar.mo

#

it will change on desktop

#

but it needs to be the exact same number of bits

#

also will be overwriten on updates

#

just add spaces

#

oh

#

well you need to compile with the correct string then

#

it’s weird cause i can’t even find po/en.po

#

oh wait

#

you can just patch manually the source code

#

then just compile

#

it’s easy

#

there is still a chance that it’s an application file and i am overly complicating things though

#

does this work echo -e 'msgid "Recycle Bin"\nmsgstr "Trash"' | msgfmt -o - - | sudo tee /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/nemo.mo >/dev/null

#

if not, what is in your /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/

kind tree
#

you can also try org.gnome.nautilus.desktop trash-icon-name 'Recycle Bin'

#

in dconf-editor

#

@tight bough

#

huh

#

what is your locale

#

??

#

oh

#

what is your locale

#

why are you not sure? you can’t ls it?

#

oh it’s 2am for me too

#

ru french?
