Recycle bins

Recycle Bins

One example of what you can do with the Share Extra Parameters option is adding recycle bins to each of you shares.

You can add a recycle bin by adding a line like this:

          vfs objects = recycle

to the extra parameters of a share.

That enables the Recycle Bin module for that share. The first time a file is deleted after that, an (invisible) folder will be created called

      .recycle

to the share and the files deleted start being put there. If your share is called Pictures, the way to find it's recycle bin is with

      \\hda.home.com\Pictures\.recycle

(if your home domain is home.com ... or \\hda\Pictures\.recycle, if your client let's you use short names)

If this works well and there is demand for it, we will provide it as a single-click checkbox (send us feedback or file a feature request for it!).
