Command line trash bin access

Re: Command line trash bin access

Telengard: that's a great addition! I've added it to my script now.

Do you mean this? I'm not sure because you didn't quote the part you're talking about.

#! /bin/bash

kfmclient move $@ "trash:/"
echo Moved to trash bin:
for filename in $@
 do echo $filename
done

It echoes back what was passed on the command line, which is useful if you want to see how variables and wild-cards are expanded. I think it would be more useful to report files which were actually moved to trash.

Re: Command line trash bin access

I found that the script I was using had trouble for filenames containing spaces. The fix was to use quotes around variable names. Just in case anyone else tries to use the script I posted, here's the latest:

#! /bin/bash

for fileName in "$@"
 do kfmclient move "$fileName" "trash:/" && echo "trashed \`$fileName'"
done

In this version, each filename is echoed only if the kfmclient move command succeeds.
