AmigaOS has a very good feature - Trashcan. But it is not convenient if
you use multiple partitions. Also you must use Workbench to manage files.
I was looking for better programs. I found a few, but they were very
simple and only made AppIcon on Workbench and nothing more. Have you seen
Trash on Mac? Or even trashcan in Windows 95? I missed them so I wrote
my own trashcan replacement.
It has following features:
- Deleted and replaced files are moved to trashcan (works with all
programs, performing delete operations on files).
- Remembers original location of deleted files.
- Patches Dos DeleteFile() function for increased functionality (now it
can delete non empty directory).
- You can use enhanced trashcan only on selected devices (eg. you can
perform operations in old way with, for instance, floppy disks).
- Automatic trashcan emptying if there is no free space on the device.
- MultiUser support (similiar to WindowsNT).
- And many more...
Trashman is very handy when using together with DirectoryOpus5 by
Jonathan Potter.
Changes:
28.11.96 - v1.2
- New catalogs added (Norsk, Italiano, Español).
- Trashman now uses screennotify.library.
- In Force Delete you can now add paths (eg: ENVARC:#?). But all old
file patterns must have #? before pattern, what means: "in all
directories" (eg: #?CygnusEDTemp#?).
- Fixed bug when saving system preferences (was causing ERROR requester).
