- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help for TrashCan ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The TrashCan is an object for storing any objects you want to delete, but with
- the ability of recovering, like the trashcan in your kitchen.
-
- I created this WPS class, because I don't like the shredder originally provided
- with the operating system. (It became dramatic after shredding some important
- files... and the UNDELETE feature is ... !)
-
- Feel free to test my TrashCan with your shredder!

- limit is reached, you have to empty TrashCan or to shred one or more objects
- before you can put new trash into it. The icon of TrashCan will change to that
- defined for the "Full state".
-
- Use the spin button to select the capacity you want. It is possible to assign a
- threshold from 1 Mbyte up to the overall capacity of all drives currently
- supported by TrashCan.
-
- Note: A real limit is always set by the free space on the supported drives!
-
- If you select Auto delete on limit reach, TrashCan will delete automatically
- the oldest objects it contains, on reaching the specified limit. So TrashCan
- will never be "full". Objects are deleted, beginning with the oldest one, until
- there is enough space for the new object(s) you want to insert.

- selecting an object (which generally would destroy the object).
