Filesystem and Windows Recycle Bin

[Toni Wilen]

Should WinUAE directory filesystem move deleted files/directories to Windows Recycle Bin automatically instead of deleting them permanently? (if Recycle Bin is enabled)

Comments?

If Recycle bin is enabled - yes I think. If not (like mine) then kill that file !

P.S. Why not make this a poll ?

1 - Always delete file
2 - Delete file if Recycler Bin turned off, otherwise put in Recycle Bin
3 - Never delete file, always put in Recycle Bin

Because I want comments :)

Windows does points 2 and 3 automatically. If RB is enabled -> goes to Recycle Bin, if not -> delete.

EDIT:

WinUAE currently does point 1. I can change it to 2+3 but I am not going to add any configuration option.

I see absolutely no harm in adding this feature for directory filesystems. Like you point out Toni, the user still has a choice through enabling or disabling the Windows recycle bin.
