Vista - Better Trash Needed

Better Trash Needed

The recent issues with the FolderShare deletes highlights some very
troublesome issues with the FolderShare Trash.

First, let me say that I am SO VERY THANKFUL for the trash. It's security to
know that it's not actually deleted until I say it is deleted.

That being said the current Trash leaves much to be desired. These features
are needed.

- Trash maintains folder structure and info on how and when files were
deleted. Physically the files can stay in a flat folder for all I care, but
we need some way to manage them and recover them to the proper place and have
enough information to make a decision on them if needed.

- Options for being alerted when files are being deleted and friendly
history/log information with the alert to determine what triggered the delete
and the subsequent actions of FolderShare.

- Maybe options for trash compression or auto-purging for those who want that.

And yes some of these ideas apply to Syncing as well.

Just a few ideas.

Re: Better Trash Needed

I totally agree. I would love to see the third feature. I've found that the
trash has overloaded my C: every once and awhile. An auto-purge feature
would greatly reduce the headache's involved with finding the trash directory
and manually removing everything I don't need.

Thanks for supporting this product.
