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

The Extra Parameters option for Shares will appear if you enabled Advanced_Settings.

It can be used to add other parameters in your smb.conf for specific shares.

IMPORTANT: You can easily make Amahi generate INVALID samba configurations with this option - so use it very carefully!!
