NoDelete purpose is to offer a global thrashcan to the system. This means
that when a file is asked to be deleted, it is moved to a special directory
rather than being deleted, so giving you a chance to get back the data if
you discover later that you need it.
Because NoDelete replaces the "delete" function of AmigaDOS, it will work
for ANY delete request, from ANY program you use. The program is
automatically declared as a Commodity, and also has an AREXX port.
NoDelete is fully configurable and installation is very easy: you just
have to copy the program in the WBStartup directory of your boot partition,
and to check the program arguments. Then NoDelete will be automatically
started next time you will boot your Amiga.
Changes for v1.20 :
- Added new MAXFILES argument
- Bug fixed: thrashcan cleanup didn't work in multiple-thrashcan mode
Changes for v1.10 :
- Creates the files in the trashcan with the same protection bits as the
original files
- Removes a partially copied file in the trashcan, when the copy fails
- The length of XPATTERNS, LOGFILE and THRASHDIR arguments is now unlimited
from NoDelete's point of vue (the Shell or the Workbench may have some
limit here)
- Added a few precisions in the documentation
