Prevent recursive deletion? Is that possible? Beyond making the directory read-only for everyone except yourself, I'm not sure what else you can do permission-wise. If you have a good backup strategy, I would think that's all you really need to cover accidents. I've accidentally deleted a folder or two in my music library. When that happens I just go grab a copy from the latest backup. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37374 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
