More Trash! v.070705

README File:

More Trash! is a simple Applescript I partially wrote. I got some script code from applescript.net and MacOSXHints and then added quite a few features myself.
I merged these 2 scripts together, and then added support for secure file deletion, and writing to a output file (named TrashData.txt in your ~/Documents folder. This file will show you the files you deleted.

Usage: You launch the app, and it searches for files in all your trash folders (startup disk, external drives, partitions, etc) and then reports to you how many items it found, taking up X amount of disk space. If you choose to delete the items on the first screen, a file named TrashData.txt will be written to the Documents folder of your user directory. If you want to see the file names themselves, you can click "More Info". At this point, you can do a secure delete, and of course, the TrashData.txt file will not be written.

What's new in this version (*070705*)

• Fixed various issues with user interface trash empty sound.
• Fixed version checking error, wouldn't check for new versions under certain circumstances.
• Added support for 10.5, note the trash empty interface sound will not work.
• Fixed an error where the application would crash for no reason. --The reason was that some variables where not of the expected type, so the application crashed.
