For some reason, after moving my home directory, my recycler no longer works?
[From: eric%[email protected] (Eric D. Engstrom)]
Basically, when you dump a file in the recycler, the workspace manager (attempts) to move it to one of the following locations:
(note: no order implied here, because I'm unsure of the actual order used)
Also, the workspace requires that the trash directory into which it puts the to-be-deleted file be on the same disk partition that the file originally came from (for speed, I assume).
Also, an example of the permissions for the external disk .NextTrash directory (which is not automatically created) should be :
Note: /private/mnt2/local is the mount point. Do chmod 1777 .NextTrash to get the permissions right.
Thus, if you moved your home directory from one partition to another, the one you left may not have a "recycler-repository" to use.
