Strange file names in trash folder #13

Open Seybo opened 7 years ago

Seybo commented 7 years ago

Here is what I get in my (Ubuntu) trash folder after deletion and I cannot restore these files as well. Initially i called this file new.rb image

just rebooted and noticed that filenames has changed now to normal and I can restore them. But the new deletions appear in the trash with the strange names again. So for some reason reboot is needed

Same for me, in Ubuntu 16.10.

Same here in Ubuntu 18.04 within WSL. Mind you this was happening when trashing files within the WSL environment, not a Windows directory.

I think it's because trash will rename deleted files to unique UUIDs instead of dealing with name conflicting. The filenames may return normal if your file manager reads original filenames from .trashinfo files.
