Error when using trash to delete something #95

Closed GreenSleeper closed 9 months ago

GreenSleeper commented 1 year ago

I just installed trash using cargo, and when I run trash something, I get this error:

error: Error during a `trash` operation: Unknown { description: "Path: '\"/data01/.Trash-1009\"'. Message: Permission denied (os error 13)" }

What does it mean? /data01/.Trash-1009 desn't exist

And is there a way to configure the "trash folder"?

Hi, ur trying to delete a file in an external drive (not in ur home folder), their for by the freedesktop.org specs it needs to be put in a folder named /root_of_drive/.Trash-$UID and u dont have permission to create that folder.

to fix change ur drive permission to allow u to create folders.

It looks like it should be enough for a /root_of_drive/.Trash directory to exist with appropriate permissions, in which case /root_of_drive/.Trash/$UID can be created and used as the trash directory.

I only have permissions in one folder in that external drive, that why I asked if the trash folder could be configured. anyway, thanks for your reply.
