Would you rather we had Haiku constantly ask for permission on
everything?
"Haiku is about to create a trash folder on this device... allow it?
[Y/N]"
No, wait... that would remind me too much of another OS...
Would it be feasable to have this as an option? A little checkbox in
Tracker's preferences that allows you to turn this creation off (with
the
inevitable consequence that files on these volumes are deleted
immediately)?
Great. And then when people FORGET which device/volume they checked
that little checkbox in, they can't recover their file(s) they just
accidentally or hastily threw away.
No thank you. I would rather Haiku do some things FOR me, that are
for my benefit, than to risk losing files due to (my own) human error.
Sorry to sound so adamant about this, but I think we're chasing bunny
trails here, rather than keeping focus on more important things...
