Very strange. It works fine for me in Gwenview 19.04. What is the path and filename of the file you're trying to delete from Gwenview? Is it possible that there's already a file in the trash with the same filename? The path to the particular file I used to test this was `/home/kishore/Downloads/testimg.jpg`. However, this issue doesn't seem to be related to the path, as I can reproduce this with images in other locations too. There are no files in Trash with the same name. I can delete the same file without any problems in Dolphin. I'll try to test this in a new user and report back. Hmmm... It works properly in a new user (I should've checked before reporting). Any idea on what config files I could try clearing? I tried removing `.local/share/Trash` and letting Dolphin create a new one by deleting a file. I can still reproduce the issue (Dolphin can move images to Trash, but Gwenview can't). How peculiar. Thanks for the additional info. Let me know if you manage to isolate a reproducible case! Marking as resolved since I can no longer reproduce it on my new laptop. |
Created attachment 119794 [details] Screenshot showing error. SUMMARY When I try to 'delete' (move to trash) a file, gwenview gives me the error "an older item named 'trash:/' already exists", and wants me to rename (!?) the trash folder STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. When viewing an image in Gwenview, press the 'delete' key OBSERVED RESULT Gwenview asks me to rename the trash folder (see attached image) EXPECTED RESULT Gwenview should move the image to the existing trash folder. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0 Qt Version: 5.12.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Deleting works properly in Dolphin, so it does not seem to be an issue with the trash folder itself.
