= Overview osx-trash is a command line program called trash[link:files/bin/trash.html] to manipulate the trash on Mac OS X. It uses AppleScript via Scripting Bridge on top of RubyCocoa to manipulate the trash, just like the Finder does. Here's a simple example: % touch foo bar baz % trash -l % trash foo ba* % trash -l /Users/dave/.Trash/foo /Users/dave/.Trash/bar /Users/dave/.Trash/baz % trash -e % trash -l Using Finder's AppleScript has a number of benefits compared to shell scripts that just move files to ~/.Trash. First, it creates unique names when there are collisions: % touch foo % trash foo % touch foo % trash foo % trash -l /Users/dave/.Trash/foo /Users/dave/.Trash/foo 20-38-20 It also handles trashes on different volumes properly: % touch foo % trash foo % touch /Volumes/DiskImage/bar % trash /Volumes/DiskImage/bar % trash -l /Users/dave/.Trash/foo /Volumes/DiskImage/.Trashes/501/bar = Links * Project page: http://www.dribin.org/dave/osx-trash/ * RubyForge project: http://rubyforge.org/projects/osx-trash/ * Online documentation: http://osx-trash.rubyforge.org/api/
