Core: Command line undelete required for trashbin
Currently the trashbin command line only supports permanently deleting files via the trashbin:cleanup and trashbin:expire commands. In the event that an administrator wishes to restore files - it would be good to have a trashbin:restore option with the ability to restore files within some date range.

Nope - none of those issues are for this new functionality.

what's the use case ? is this for users who do not know how to access the trashbin web UI ?
another possible approach is to use the impersonate app to login as such user and do the restoration from the web UI as that user

That could work - but then the web app would need to have the ability to choose a date range to restore. This would make it easier to restore a large number of deleted files - without having to select them all in the web interface.

@xyGZen what's your use case ? in what situation do you need to restore files by date range as an admin ? is it because users do not understand the web UI enough, which might hint at UX problems in the web UI ? Is this something an admin does only once or needs to do in a regular manner ?
Understanding your exact use case could help thinking of a solution that better fits.

Use case is that the user has deleted many files over the course of a period of time. They now wish to revert to an earlier version of some of the deleted files but only within a specific period. There are over 15000 files in this period so manually clicking each one is very time consuming in the web interface. Having the ability to select based on the date range would make this much easier.

makes sense, thanks a lot for clarifying

the idea way I'd see a feature for restoring by date range would be if the search app could accept a query like "is:deleted dateMin:2018-10-01 dateMax:2018-10-31" and then let the user select all results and click "Restore". The query building part would also need to be user friendly.
