I've got a trash can in my Dock and I can add a 'Delete' button to my Finder windows.... so the point of this is?

Completely a waste of money. The only feature it has is that you can "shred" a document, most homes don't need that feature, so save the $.

What silly reviews these are! TrashX is not replacable by "a symlink to ~/.Trash" or similar, it has significant extra value, such as "empty things from the trash after they've been there for longer than XXX."

Annoyingly, it always refuses to run after a system update. Updated versions that work in the new OS are always available immediately (by the time I update), but the necessity is tiresome.

And they will continue to be tiresome inasmuch as this is a poorly designed application. You never never never go after unofficial APIs. Some people want to make a quick buck or have fifteen nanoseconds of fame, so they cheat - and who are the losers? The users they've fooled.

$9 for something that's already to hand in the Dock, umreal... Do yourself a favourand spend your money on a decent utility like DragThing, forget this get-rich-quick loser.

why pay for this when all you need is a symlink to "~/.Trash" ?


its really easy to do this, simply open the terminal and type the following:
ln -s ~/.Trash ~/Desktop/Trash

that will create a folder named "Trash" on your desktop. This folder will point to your trash can. you can move this trash folder anywhere to your hard disk, and it will always point to your trash can.

COOL TIP: Put Trash X in your Finder windows toolbar to have easy access to it in any folder.
