Quick solution:
here=`pwd`
for i in $*; do
absolutename="/${i}"
dn=`dirname $i`
bn=`basename $i`
name=$dn/$bn
echo $absolutename >> ~/.trashdb;
done
mv -i $* ~/.Trash;
You still have the massive probleme of files that all posses the same
basename even though they came from different directories.
Best bet - append the file being "trashed" to an existing gzipped tar
archive. This way the full pathname can be saved with each file nad each
file can besaved mutiple times in the archive. To save pain at a later
date you can prepend each pathname with a "date_and_timestamp" making
it easier to name each version of the same file uniquely and allow
each one to be manipulated individually.
