[SOLVED] Equivalent to 'gio trash filename'?

[chimak111]

I can run gio trash some_file to send some_file to the Trash/Wastebin. gio is provided by libglib2.0-bin.

But libglib2.0-bin seems to be a "GNOME" thing:

It is a useful general-purpose C library used by projects such as GTK+, GIMP, and GNOME.

Is there a gio trash equivalent in KDE Plasma?

You could use kioclient5 in 'kde-cli-tools' (kioclient5 move [FILE] trash:/), but you can do a bit more with 'trash-cli', available from the repos [https://www.putorius.net/trash-cli-linux-terminal-recycle-bin.html ]

Thank you for kioclient5 move [FILE] trash:/!

I used trash-cli in 18.04 but installing it in 20.04 involves many python2* dependencies:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
libpython2-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib python-pkg-resources python2 python2-minimal python2.7 python2.7-minimal
trash-cli

But installing from the GitHub page seems to allow a python3* route.

BTW, I'm currently getting a 404 for the putorius link.

Yep, looks like almost all vestiges of python2 have been removed from the stock 20.04.

Minor fix to the link: there are extra "[" and "]" and the "]" after ...bin.html seems to be the cause of the 404.

Re. python2*, the GitHub page mentions "Python 2.7 or Python 3" and provides a "user-only" installation option. But that requires python-setuptools which is python2*-based.
