Before replacing the Finder with a "superior" implementation one might want to be aware of what the design goals, expected behavior, user expectations, and existing capabilities of the "inferior" existing Finder actually are. The OP apparently isn't even aware of the Finder's "Secure Empty Trash" capability: On Apr 16, 2010, at 2:34 AM, Oleg Krupnov wrote: > What is "securely" in this context? He tells us that it's for a disk cleaning utility. But emptying the trash will delete files on *other mounted volumes* as well, not just the disk being examined. One shouldn't violate well established, expected platform behavior with the possible, unlikely exception of those who are expertly knowledgeable about that well established, expected behavior. That doesn't appear to be the case here. warmest regards, Ralph Raffael Cavallaro raffaelcavall...@me.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
