Can not delete photos from album

[gewe]

When I try to move a photo to the Trash, digiKam says "can not write to
~/Desktop/Trash/."
The trash folder on my (Gnome) system is ~/.Trash.
How can I change this in digiKam? Where are the settings stored?
I am using digiKam 0.9.1.

KDE follows a freedesktop.org draft for trash handling.  The
freedesktop standard location is ~/.local/share/Trash/...

Can you check that you have kio_trash.so|.la installed?

In debian/(k)ubuntu installations it's

        /usr/lib/kde3/kio_trash.*

No, it is not there. There is no kio_t* at all (checked whole filesystem).

I had this same problem, when running Digikam on the GNOME desktop.
Since the KDE trashcan is not yet (easily) visible to GNOME it might be
better to bypass the trashcan when running on GNOME.
Is the GNOME and KDE trash shared in some distributions?

I always bypassed this problem with a SHIFT+DELETE.

Okay then find out with pkg contains kio_trash.so and install it.

For Kubuntu and Debian install kdebase-kio-plugins.

You can can look at the KDE trash with

                konqueror trash:/

Or if you don't have konqueror installed, as a work around,
open Digikam -> File -> Import images.  This opens the standard
kde file dialog.  There at  trash:/  as the location.  You
can select multiple (all) files and in the RMB menu you have
a delete.

I doubt it.  I'm sure after some time Gnome

Thanks, that does the trick.

I never tried that in digiKam. Thanks for the tip.
