QuickTrash enables you to move a file, a set of files, a folder or a set of folders to Trash Folder with a point-and-click while your other hand is holding down a specific key combination to enable the feature. It is great when you have lots of files to remove and they are scattered all over or you have many windows opened so that you can't dig out the Trash to dump the files.
How to install...
QuickTrash is an INIT program that goes into Extension Folder of your Macintosh. After download, decode '.hqx' file, unstuff '.sit' file, then you will have a folder containing the program and other information. Move QuickTrash to your System Folder and click okay to move it into the Extension Folder. Restart your computer.
How to operate...
When you are on Finder, press down Control Key with Option Key. The arrow cursor should be changed to something else. Click with a mouse on the file you want to delete. If the cursor is not changed with the key combination or the file doesn't move to Trash when it clicked, maybe your machine is not configured to work with this version. Check the requirement again...
To remove a set of files or folders, while QuickTrash is activated(combo-key), select files as you would do normally when you are in the finder(rubber band method).
