Bug Description

See the following .desktop file: It adds a right-click action (at least in KDE) which allows users to add items to their ~/.safe-rm file. With a little shell script this might be improved to avoid duplicates and maybe even to remove files from the ~/.safe-rm prevention list.

One small change, the Exec line needs one dummy argument because bash -c fills the command line arguments starting from $0:

Exec=bash -c 'for i in "$@" ; do echo "$i" >> ${HOME}/.safe-rm; done' dummy %F

That's a really neat idea! Thanks for sharing that.

I'll have to think about how to best integrate it into the package, but right now I'm thinking of adding it to /usr/share/doc/safe-rm/examples/.
