deleting files
Why does cmd-delete sometimes delete immediately (after a warning) instead of moving to trash? ___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
Re: deleting files
Is file on a network share? If it is the file will be deleted immediately.

Re: deleting files
If there is no Trash directory on the volume (network volume, or perhaps an unsupported file system), Finder will delete files from it (after a warning) instead of trashing them. -- Gleb Dolgich PixelEspresso http://www.pixelespressoapps.com On 27 Feb 2011, at 21:09, Neil Laubenthal wrote: Is file on a network share?

If there is no Trash directory on the volume (network volume, or perhaps an unsupported file system), Finder will delete files from it (after a warning) instead of trashing them. This is a partition (Data) on my HD. It has a .Trashes file which has plausible old stuff in it, but wasn't emptied by empty trash. Oddly this has read and write permissions, but the .Trashes files on my boot partitions are write only for everybody and have a small + in the corner of the icon. I now deleted that .Trashes file and rebooted. Now everything works normally again. ?? ___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk

Basically, anything that was installed through a package file. I'm pretty sure permissions for user files and .Trashes aren't stored anywhere that a repair would reference. This is one of the reasons that permissions repairs are the new Zap your PRAM. The procedure has a definite use, but it's thrown around far too often. -- arno s hautala /-| a...@alum.wpi.edu pgp b2c9d448 ___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
