TrashLater

TrashLater is a file-removal application. It watches chosen folders, granting each of its (unmodified) files a "grace-period" before TrashLater moves them to a different folder, typically the Trash. In other words, folder items are removed after a delay. Each folder can be assigned a different grace period. Any file within these folders is tracked individually. You can use TrashLater to manage your download folder or to keep only the recent files in trash.

• Now using "launchd", the launch daemon used by OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as the scheduling mechanism (replacing the use of "cron"). Many of the complex, cron-related scheduling options are therefore no longer required. The first check will occur when you log in; subsequent checks will be done at your chosen intervals.
• Limited the checking intervals to within 10 minutes and once a day - other checking intervals are not required.
• Introducing "TrashLater Server", i.e., a solution for system administrators to run TrashLater as a system-wide root-daemon with which all folders for all users can be accessed. Supports both OS X and Mac OS X Server (even OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion).
• Removed the window-based checking solution, a.k.a. "TrashLater Client". Beginning with this version, all checking will be done in the background.
• Retired option: Track all subfolder items individually.
• Eye candy: Nicer growl notification when only "one item was removed" [280].
• Changed the default state of the "Check skipped" message to "disabled" in order to remove message clutter. Interested users are free to enable the message in the Growl prefrences pane.
• Added a workaround with Growl when installing a new application dictionary.
• Dead code stripping. Removed the database converter that could import settings from obsolete versions of TrashLater (3.0 - 3.5) [279].
