: 4) It seems undesirable to me to add a "Delete" command, because most :

for which ones "Delete" will be better. So we'd effectively : end up with
most users using "Delete" and thus the "forgiveness" : provided by the
recycle bin will be a benefit on paper only.
: 5) If we manage to have a recycler folder on each disk, or at least : on
most disks, we'll *solve* the problem for which "Delete" is the : workaround.
For those cases where this won't help, we could a) behave : like now and just
take the speed hit b) provide an interface for : advanced users to add their
own mount points to the list of disks : that can have trashes. This would
probably also benefit NSWorkspace, : which could benefit from this as well c)
Write some auto-detect code : that builds a default list for b by scanning
the disk. This could be : done once at initial startup, and might only be
supported on some : systems, but would increase usability noticeably.
.... for me and I do think some/several other users, too, 'delete' is
a feature not a bug. May be just for 'power users' :-), but nevertheless.
If I want to just move something, I'll do just that, when I remove some-
thing, it's final :-), and I don't want to empty any recycler/dust bin/
trash etc. Hell, even MS-Windows allows you to 'shift-delete' items, as
does OPENSTEP (Alt-r). So I want to at least keep that option, please.
