WPS TrashCan is a replacement for the OS/2 Warp Version 3 (or higher) Shredder object. It brings a Macintosh-like trash can to your Desktop.

Unlike the Shredder, TrashCan won't immediately delete objects dropped on it. You can delete them yourself later, or configure TrashCan to delete them according to options in its settings notebook. This way, you will be able to recover Trashed objects and get them back for normal use.

TrashCan features:

• Use of 3 different icons to easily detect the current state of TrashCan. These icons can be replaced by your own favorites.
• Additional drag and drop features like 'Shred objects on drop' or 'Remove objects from LaunchPad'.
• Modified views providing information about Trashed objects, current size of trash, number of Trashed objects, and more.
• Ability to restore Trashed objects to their original location.
• Destruction of objects which are generally not deletable.
• Capacity adjustable from 1 MByte to 'Unlimited'.
• Ability to delete old Trashed objects automatically when the capacity set is exceeded.
• Ability to delete old Trashed objects automatically after an adjustable time period.
• You may select the drives to be supported by TrashCan.
• Interception of 'Delete' operations for ALL WPS objects. When activated, objects will not really be deleted but appear in TrashCan.
• Optional use of MMPM/2 system sounds when adding new objects, empty trash, etc.
• Interface to DeskMan/2 and Object Desktop's Object Packages to backup and restore ALL the common and private settings of TrashCan.

How TrashCan differs from Undelete programs:

Only Workplace Shell software can deal with every object on your desktop. TrashCan not only handles files and directories but also recognizes other objects such as shadows, program objects, and color palettes, ... which are not represented by files on any storage media.

Available languages:

English, German, French, Japanese, Spanish, Czech

System Requirements:

To use Workplace Shell TrashCan you need OS/2 Warp Version 3 (or higher). It will not run on previous versions of OS/2.
