Feature Request: Trash deletion per volume Sat Jun 06, 2009 6:25 pm • by yawitz
I'd love to see an enhanced trash management feature that lets me set the deletion rules per volume. For example, I'd like to empty trashes on removable media using different rules than I'd set for my primary drives.

The 3rd party trash manager, Compost, does this and more, but I don't need all of it's features.

Thanks,
Mitch

Thanks for the request. I have something like this already in the feature database. My question is do you want more general rules of specifying per type of volume (fixed disk vs removable) or do you want to do it on a volume by volume basis?

I hadn't thought of rules by volume type (removable vs. non-removable), and I'm not sure I would use them, though it sounds like a cool feature. For me, though, I'd be happy for volume-by-volume control, regardless of it's type.
