I suggest another way : the clever trash ! (not yet patented ;-)
The trash already does exist. My idea is to improve it.
- Add a configuration file for the trash with :
a max size
select a strategy.
- If the max size is exceeded, apply the strategy :
change the icon : color, animated
play a sound
erase definitively a percentage (10% to 100%) of old/biggest files
This is not too much difficult to do and, more important, it is easily
understandable by everybody.
For a newbie, this can be seen as a great improvement.
