Yes, that's correct. > Do you think this can be enhanced, ie to give 1 hour or 1 day of grace > period for the user to understand his horrible mistake and revert it? I think this would be difficult. Something like suggested by you could work in your scenario. But for example what would happen if you not only delete your picture collection by accident but also add some other (large) files to your sync folder. Should we than stop uploading the new files for an hour because the delete operation could have been a mistake? I don't think that this would be a good idea. The trash bin is a tool which should not get into your way and just use the available free space to add some convenience. I always recommend to have a backup strategy. For example I create a backup once a day from both my data folder and the database. There can so much happen, not only a accidental rm -rf but also hardware failures, software failures, broken hard discs, etc. The trash bin can never be a replacement for backups. > To be frank, I've once done this rm -rf (don't ask how!) on my home > directory and about to lose everything if didn't have a separate backup > system. I can really feel your frustration if something like this happens. But I'm not sure if the trash bin app is the right place to catch such stuff without breaking other stuff (like my example above). Probably the best solution is to investigate into a backup system. Already a additional hard disk on the same system to which you can sync your data from time to time would be a big improvement. cheers, Björn -- Björn Schießle <[email protected]> Software Engineer ownCloud Inc.
