Short: The trashcan-system for the amiga Author: olli@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de (Oliver Blumert) Uploader: olli@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de (Oliver Blumert) Version: 1.3 Type: util/wb Replaces: util/wb/GlobalTrash.lha Requires: AmigaOS 3.0 Kurz: Das Mülleimersystem für den Amiga® ___________________________________________________________________________ GlobalTrash is a trashcan-system that offers a global trashcan, undelete- ability (remembers the origin), GUI and device-specific commands (e.g. eject-support) via external AmigaDOS commands. It comes with catalogs, guides and installer-scripts in different languages and it's FREE (but a registration after 30 days is required). And here are the highlights: ============================ - One appicon for all volumes on the workbench. - Fontsensitive and appealing GUI. - Access to a global trashcan with the contents of all trashcan- directories on all volumes. - Ability to access a single trashcan-directory on a volume. - Automatically delete files older than a specific amount of days. - You can use the trashcan for the backups of your programms (like GoldED, PageStream,...). You will always have access to your older documents and you can be sure that they will be deleted if they are too old. - Ability to start an AmigaDOS-Command for every volume (to eject your ZIP-Disks for example). - Different requesters with various options for interaction. - Usage in combination with DirectoryOpus (or other programms) possible. The nedded external programm 'GlobalTrashClient is now included. - Progress-bar. - Correct processing of the same filenames in the same trashcan- directory (no overwriting of existent files in a trashcan directory). - Ability to restore a file in his original path with his original filename. - GUI shows a file-tree for directories. Ability to browse within this tree and to process (restore, delete) files from within. - Recognition of files which are not moved by GlobalTrash into the trashcan directory (without the origin); for example a backup-file from GoldED. - Ability to restore files over multiple volumes. - Correct processing of the iconfiles (#?.info). - and many many more. The history since last aminet-release: ====================================== Version 1.3 (10/12/98) - 56,664 / 24,640 (Prefs) / 4,576 (Client) Byte ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW: - Usage of the 'Empty this trash'-gadget leads to a deletion of the currently displayed files only. - Progress-bar displays (if the 'Empty this trash'-gadget is used) the number of files to be deleted correctly. - New options ('WAITWB' and 'PERFORMWB') for the Client. - Detection of the same arguments (appicon, Client). - Changed some internal structures. - CPU-check at the beginning of the program ('68020+'-version). - Column-sorting. - Automatic size-calculation of all new directories. - Option for automatic size-calculation of all new directories (prefs). - Menu entry for the manual size-calculation of a directory. - Progressbar can be disabled. - Progressbar can open with given time delay. - Setting for deactivation and time delay of the progressbar (prefs). - Completed Status-display for the global trashcan (all known volumes). - New menu-entry: 'Calculate size'. - Localized the menu-shortcuts. - Changed listview-title into gadgets for sorting. - New gadget: 'Display' (preparation for version 1.4). ENH: - 'Restore As...' over volume-bounds considers file-attributes. - Special-characters are sorted after 'Locale'-guidelines. - Syntax-checking (Client). - Sorting after origin. - Sorting after name. - Reduced memory-usage of each displayed file. - Enhanced recognition and conversion (from an old version) of invalid external structures (prefs, indexfile). - 'C:Copy' not needed anymore. - Busy-pointer is displayed for refresh of the volumes or trashcan-contents also. - Marked the first element within the List-Tree-display. - List-Tree-display for the root-level also. - Snapshot-window is now activated when opening (prefs). - Preferences opens a requester for error-messages. - Enhanced status-texts. - Processing non-existent files (with appicon, menue or client) causes an error-report now. - Detailed error-report (AmigaDOS error-code) if a action can't completed successfully. - Optimized generation of listview-title. - Rearranged status-display and gadgets. - Changed 'Command'-gadgets; removed 'Perform'-gadget. FIX: - Under certain circumstances it was the case that the indexfiles weren't restored (usage of Client-options '[NOASK]EMPTY'/'[NOASK]EMPTYGLOBAL'). - Error while sorting special-characters. - Enhanced synchronisation of the time-delayed progress-bar. - Incorrect display of the file tree (removing displayed trash). - Incorrect error message for the first file to be processed if a new trashcan was created by GlobalTrash. - Text-related synchronisation-error of the delayed progressbar. - Delayed progressbar is waiting now if a ASL-requester is open. - Several errors with activated 'Save file tree'-flag. - Displayed size of empty (but calculated) directories. - Corrected usage some uninitalized pointers (might have led to problems). - Incorrect display of the statistic with different catalogs. - Incorrect display of the 'Miscellaneous'-section with (prefs). - Preferences are not written anymore to 'ENV:' if an error occured. - Error if 'Save file tree'-option is avtivated. - Removed deletion of the icon when a file is to be 'restored/...as'. - Entry of the font-gadget was also visible in the 'Filetype-images'-gadget (prefs). - Open the mainwindow with a empty current trashcan deactivates the listview now. - GlobalTrash recognizes and handles the startpoint (CLI or WB). - Removed 'PatchWork'-Hits (preferences and client). - Fixed Refresh of the listview-title. - Fixed incorrect refresh if the 'Restore As...'-command is cancelled before the first file was processed.
