Feature request: --verbose flag

[cmessias]

Hi there, I've been using this program for the last couple of weeks and I've been loving it so far. One of the things I think is missing from rm is a --verbose flag.

I think this flag is super useful for interactive use in the terminal, and I think it would be useful here too. In rm it simply prints the removed files after the fact, like so:

$ touch file file2 file3
$ rm --verbose file*
removed 'file'
removed 'file2'
removed 'file3'

In trashy, I think it could be done similarly, or to maintain consistency with the other subcommands, a confirmation prompt could be used, like how it is already done with the empty subcommand:

$ trash empty file
3 items will be emptied
╭───┬────────────────┬──────────────────────────╮
│ i │ Time           │ Path                     │
├───┼────────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
│ 2 │ now            │ /home/caio/desktop/file  │
│ 1 │ now            │ /home/caio/desktop/file3 │
│ 0 │ now            │ /home/caio/desktop/file2 │
╰───┴────────────────┴──────────────────────────╯
Are you sure? [y/n]

What do you think? Do you think it makes sense adding this flag? I could help with the development if needed. Thanks.

I think we could add this flag. I don't know if we should add a confirmation prompt, as trash is a lot less destructive than trash empty, trash restore, or rm. Also, --verbose only implies more output, not a confirmation prompt.

I agree that just having more output seems better for this

Any update on this? Would also love to see that! Great application!

Would like to see this also work with the short -v arg.

EDIT: I mean just noting the removed files, not the confirmation. I think that's being conflated here & should be implemented separately, like -i, -I, & --interactive in GNU rm.
