Description

Recycle bin is used here in the generic sense and intended for all operating systems (the notion started in Unix. On Linux, deleted files can be moved to /tmp/<userid>/deleted

When files are deleted, they should be sent to the recycle bin. Ideally, this would be controllable with a setting.

When links are deleted, they should be appended to a text file. The line should containthe link (see below for encrypted links), the status, and the password. It should be formatted in a way that the Linkgrabber can interpret if a user copies a line.

History

Updated by drbits about 3 years ago

The code for deleting to the Windows Recycle bin is in SVN. On *nix, it should be a makedir, copy and delete. On OSX it should be a system or shell call.

Since encrypted files are the hard part of recording deleted files, they could initially just be deleted until the format is settled upon for the plain text containers.
