Version: 0.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux My setup: Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) version 5.10. Digikam downloaded via apt-get from http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~ach/kubuntu/breezy ./ Digikam version 0.8.1 The directory is owned by user1, with all files with permissions a+rw, and directories . and .. with permissions a+rwx. User2 runs digikam and selects a picture and tries to move it to trash. The error message is "Could not rename file /home/user2/Pictures/Personal/2006/2006 - India/img_2280.jpg."
I'm running Ubuntu Dapper and had the same trouble with a directory I *own*. Oddly I can rotate pictures, but I cannot delete it. I run Gnome normally. Apparently this could be a dupe of bug 98231 since it was "fixed" on my system as follows: ln -s ~/.Trash/ ~/Desktop/Trash
I had that problem too and it wasn't until I looked at this bug report that I discovered the solution. Surely this is the sort of thing that should work out of the box even for Gnome users.
For me it works. I have Mandriva. According to freedesktop.org specs Trash directory should be in: $XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash. When $XDG_DATA_HOME not defined it should be $HOME/.local/share/Trash. And that is the case here. Also digiKam uses KDE libs which are handling system URLs. So, if problem exists (and I highly doubt it), it exists on completely different level and should be reported to kdelibs. Closing as invalid.
I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu 8.10. Tried the ln -s ~/.Trash/ ~/Desktop/Trash solution, but it didn't work, any other ideas? Somebody?
This problem is relevant of digiKam trash files management. Since 5.0.0 we use an internal solution instead the desktop trash. It will never reproducible.
