How to force Midnight Commander deleting files&folders to GUI trash?
 

Hi!
Is it possible to make mc using trash when deleting files and folders in the way defined by FreeDesktop.org Trash Specification ?
I've tried to make an alias for rm command replacing it with trash-put (trash-cli utility), but it didn't help.

I don't think so. I don't think mc understands GUIs.

I took a look at Gnome Commander. It doesn't seem to have a move to trash option either.

Of course, I may be wrong and, if so, I hope someone corrects me.

ok, when not GUI trash then can it just move deleted files to some folder called Trash, in order to have a possibility of restoring deleted files during some period of time?

Use the search on this site. Someone asked a similar question in the past about aliasing rm to mv. The solution was to intercept the system call for rm so that a move to trash was done instead. Sorry, but I don't remember the details.

I think I found the project.

It intercepts system calls such as unlink() and moves the files to a users .Trash folder instead.

That's it! Thank you.
