ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help for TrashCan ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The TrashCan is an object for storing any objects you want to delete, but with
the ability of recovering, like the trashcan in your kitchen.
I created this WPS class, because I don't like the shredder originally provided
with the operating system. (It became dramatic after shredding some important
files... and the UNDELETE feature is ... !)
Feel free to test my TrashCan with your shredder!
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Help for Shred ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use Shred to destroy the selected object(s).
Note: After that you cannot recover the object(s).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Help for Empty ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use Empty to destroy all objects in the TrashCan.
Note: After that you cannot recover these objects.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Help for Product information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use Product informationto display the ownership for the TrashCan.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Help for General ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Help for Sound ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Check the Use 'shredder' sound button to enable the sound defined for the
Shredder object for the TrashCan. You may change this sound by using the Sound
object in the System Setup folder.
Note: MMPM/2 must be installed on your system, if you want to use this feature.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Help for Icons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Help for Title ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Title field displays the current name of the TrashCan. This name is
displayed with the icon. Type in this field to change the title.
Your new title can be displayed on one or more lines below the icon. Press the
Enter key as you type a new title to indicate the start of a new line. You can
use any characters, including spaces, except the backslash (\).
You also can change the name of the object by typing a new name below the icon.
Note: If you select Default , the title is removed and replaced with the
predifined name of the TrashCan.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Help for Undo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Undo to change the settings to those that were active before this
notebook page was displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. Help for Default ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Default to change the settings to those that were active when you
installed the TrashCan.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. Help for Capacity ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select No limit to keep as much trash as possible in the TrashCan.
Select Limited to to set a limit for the trash to keep in the TrashCan. If this
limit is reached, you have to empty the TrashCan or to shred one or more
objects before you can put new objects into it. The icon of the TrashCan will
show a 'Stop sign' to determine this state.
Use the spin button to select the capacity you want. It is possible to assign a
trashhold between 1 MByte and the whole capacity of the drive the TrashCan is
installed on.
Note: A real limit is always set by the free space on the drive!
If you select Auto delete on limit-reach, the TrashCan will start to delete
automatically the oldest objects it contains, if the specified limit of
trashhold is reached. So the TrashCan will never be "full". Objects are
deleted, beginning with the oldest one, until there is enough space for the new
object(s) you want to insert.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Help for Empty on Startup ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Setting a checkmark on Auto empty on systemstartup will destroy all objects in
the TrashCan, every time you start your operating system.
To prevent this, remove the checkmark.

Use the three radiobuttons in this field to switch the icon displayed in
Current icon.
What are the three possible icons?
1. The Empty icon is used, if there are no objects in the TrashCan.
2. The Not empty icon will be used, if there are any objects in the TrashCan.
3. The Full icon you will see, if you selected a limited capacity in the
Options notebook page and this limit is reached.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 15. Help for create another button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Create another to use the Icon Editor to make a new icon for the
currently displayed state of the TrashCan.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. Help for edit button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Edit, if you want to change the icon that is displayed in the Current
icon field.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. Help for Current icon ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Current icon field shows, which pictures (icons) are used for the different
TrashCan states. To switch between the three possible icons use the Icons
radiobuttons field in this notebook page. To change the icons you can use the
push buttons to the right of the Current icon field. Or you can change the
icons by dragging and dropping any .ico file onto the icon in the Current icon
field.
Important Note:
The new icon to set via drag'n drop must reside in an icon data file. This is
different from the original WPS objects!!!
Initially the icons are determined by the TrashCan.
