trash-restore all/multiple files about trash-cli HOT 11 CLOSED

I think it would be much more flexible, to allow users to enter multiple indices at once. Some programs allow that by entering 1-3 7 10-12, which would be parsed to [1,2,3,7,10,11,12].

Why doesn't it just take a * to restore all files?

while ( echo '0' | trash-restore ) ; do true; done;

Awesome; thanks!

This works perfectly for the issue described above, in that it only functions on the pwd. Would there happen to be a command to restore all files regardless of directory?

Is there a update on this? I think the ability to choose an array of indexes is a nice option to have instead of just choosing one.

This is already implemented:

Restore multiple trashed files separated by ',', also support range::

$ trash-restore
0 2007-08-30 12:36:00 /home/andrea/foo
1 2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/bar
2 2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/bar2
3 2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/foo2
What file to restore [0..3]: 0-2, 3
$ ls foo bar bar2 foo2
foo bar bar2 foo2

from trash-cli.

I never tested it, please use caution:

(cd / && while ( echo '0' | trash-restore ) ; do true; done; )

Thanks again!

Weird, I am kinda sure was trying something like that to send it an input as an arrays and it didn't work, but now that I am trying again it is working fine.

Thanks
