recycle bin? #19

Open Pomax opened 4 years ago

Pomax commented 4 years ago

Does this also set up the correct things so that deleting through the subst moves the files to the recycle bin, rather than just disappearing them without a way to recover them?

This feature was requested few days ago. Please see the issue #18.

That issue is closed. Just because it's hard doesn't mean it's not worth doing though? Especially if there's knows way to make it work (so automating that as additional util would have very high value). Why not keep it open with a help-wanted label?

@Pomax

In the previous issue I gave the partial workaround. It works in the cases when the user has the only substed drive. And it won't work in the case with more than one substed drive.

I believe that in the future the solution will or possibly could be found. As far as I know, the limitation is in the operating system, so if I implemented this feature, I had to implement some workaround over the operating system. To this moment I didn't find any of them.

Thank you for your hint to label the issue as "help wanted".

still worth reopening though, so that people who are looking for issues to help out with can find it (github, and to a degree google, will not surface issues that are closed at all)

@Pomax

I've just reopen the issue. If you find any solution rather than I provided in the issue #18, please post it here.

will do, thank you.
