Bug Description
Binary package hint: digikam
I am using digikam version 0.8.2-2ubuntu1 in Ubuntu (Gnome based). I tried to delete a picture and got an error message saying "could not rename file FILENAME" (where FILENAME was the name of the file it was trying to delete).
I looked around and found this bug report on KDE's site: http://
In the comments on the bug, someone advises to link ~/.Trash to ~/Desktop/Trash. Doing so solves the problem, and deleting the file is possible.
I am assuming that this is because KDE (and Kubuntu) uses ~/Desktop/Trash as the trashcan, while Gnome (and Ubuntu) uses ~/.Trash.
Can the program be tweaked to look for the trash in either place?

That's strange. With kubuntu edgy my trash is in
~/ .local/ share/Trash/
when I move this directory away and move a picture in digikam
to Trash it gets recreated.
Can you check that you 'trashed' images from digikam really end up in ~/.Trash and not below ~/.local/ share/Trash/ * ?
When you start digikam from the command line
is there anything suspect written to the termial
when you delete an image in digikam?
What method are you using to delete picture?
o RMB over a thumbnail and 'Move to Trash'
o drag and drop to gnome trash icon
o or ...
What's the output of 'digikam --version'?
