Why not just copy the code from trash-rm [pattern]
to add pattern matching to restore: trash-restore [pattern]
?
If the code cannot be so easily merged with the existing trash-restore
, you could just make a trash-restore-pattern [pattern]
function and call it a day.

@chronometric you can try my branch here: https://github.com/arendu/trash-cli
It allows giving a comma seperated list of indexes to restore.
@andreafrancia I have submitted a pull request. Thank you for creating this tool!

+1 for this. restoring many files one by one (and by hand) is extremely tedious.
from trash-cli.
This feature seems like a fairly essential interface convenience right now. Instead of scanning through the list of files once and typing the numbers I want to retrieve, I'm typing one number at a time, re-starting the program, using the mouse to scroll up the list pick out the next file, & etc
(The only way I could speed this up would be to write down the numbers of the files on a single read-through, and then work in reverse order so deleting earlier files didn't change the file numbers)
In issue #22 the range function was said to be a bad idea. I suppose that the range function is of limited use, since the files are not sorted in a useful order. But at least some implementation of this seems highly essential to facilitating the program's primary function upon more than one deleted file.
What objections are there to a multiple selection restore?

If you think a feature is essential please do it: you are free to fork and implement the feature.

@andreafrancia: I don't code. I'm sorry if my suggestion was out of line somehow; I was simply trying to articulate why the absence of this feature makes your otherwise excellent program increasingly awkward as its usage scales.
Since it's probably the most popular feature request, I thought it would be interesting and perhaps helpful to hear why you said it is undesirable, but you are obviously under no obligation to respond.

Probably the problem is that nobody with enough programming skill is commited to implement this feature.
Unfortunately I don't have time to understand the request nor to implement the feature, sorry. I wrote trash-cli before I got married, now I'm father of two.
The proposed solution for multiple selection seems awkward to me. The whole restore-trash is awkward. I would have created it exploiting shell-like globbing instead of indexing.

@arendu: thank you for proposing a solution.
I don't know if I can find the enough amount of time, focus and working linux system for reviewing your pull request design and implications at a level I can decide to merge it.
But I think that every interested person can checkout and use your version if they think it may fit their needs, so I thank you for that.
