Krusader won't send files to Trash in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04

Asked by Janberk

Hi!

I am using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 and installed Krusader. I switched from Windows and tried to find a similar file manager like Total Commander in Windows. So, I decided on Krusader.

However, among other things, the biggest problem I face with Krusader and cannot get used to it is that, it does not send deleted files to Trash. There is an option in the Settings as, "Send files to Trash or Delete." I pick Trash, but whenever I try to send some items to trash, it says "Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'trash'."

What can I do for fixing this problem. Thanks for your interest.

Janberk

I guess you are using Ubuntu with Gnome, not Kubuntu (with KDE)?
In this case the problem is, that Krusader is a KDE application, and it try to use the KDE trash (with klauncher etc.), which of course is not available in Gnome.
I don't know, if it is possible to install KDE's trash to Gnome... (I don't think so, but I'm not certain).
You may try GNOME Commander, which is a similar, "two-pane" file manager (I don't know it, I'm using Krusader with KDE, but may be good.)

Yes, Krusader can use trash in Gnome also. I dont know if one has to install some thing from KDE ( i did not), but on my Ubuntu, Krusader sends deleted files to ~/.local/share/Trash . I have just made an ln -s to ~/.Trash (which is normal Gnome trash folder) and it worked.

And there is another way to solve th proble. Just make a new user action with a command
"mv %aCurrent% ~/.Trash/" and bid this action to del key.
