[ql-users] Q-Trans Trash can

2003-01-19 Thread Dilwyn Jones
I've added a Trash-can facility to Q-Trans and would like some feedback on how it should work. Basically, it's a short one character length named folder on a specified drive (e.g. WIN1_*_) into which files are moved rather than being deleted as such, so that a degree of restoration of 'deleted' fi

Far too complex for what is a fairly simple compiled basic piece of code as outlined. No chance whatsoever of this being done - Q-Trans has no date handling routines or file stats facilities anyway, plus the simple minded approach means the Q-Trash (or whatever you call it) can be manipulated by a
