It's the thing I miss most from the browser. I'd have to third the wish-list on this one. I know the reason you don't have a trashcan is because of Apple's shakey trigger finger on look-and-feel lawsuits... But it is difficult to convince a mac user that executor is easy with the current file deletion methods. I would opt for the ability to just hit "delete" and have the selected file get trashed. (of course with a dialog box that says, "are you sure"-- and multi-select would also help out) ---Also on a side note: Would it be possible to have a Macintosh partition? Can any of ardi's disk formating routines be able to create a partition? The reason I ask is because ideally I'd like to have a mac partition that could be shared by OS/2 and Linux, then executor could work the same (i.e. same filesystem) in both systems... I know I could just use an .hfv file on the dos partition, but this just seems kind of clunky. (of is it just my warped perception? Should I not be concerned that its an emulated filesystem?)
