TrashLater Changelog

What's new in TrashLater 5.0

Mar 9, 2015
  • TrashLater is now freeware.
  • Requires Mac OS X 10.6 (TrashNow) or 10.8 (TrashLater).

New in TrashLater 4.2.2 Build 339 (Dec 17, 2014)

  • Now using "launchd", the launch daemon used by Mac 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 Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server (even 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].
  • Built with Xcode 3.2.4 using gcc 4.2.1.

New in TrashLater 4.1 Build 277 (Oct 9, 2007)

  • Added a condition to check for file sizes.
  • New file condition based on color labels in the Finder.
  • Added support for mountable folders, i.e. folders on network drives or removable disk drives. No checking will be done for these folders when they are not present.
  • Now using the Sparkle framework//sparkle.andymatuschak.org/ to do update checks.
  • Activated the (red) close button in the main window.
  • Allowing folders to be re-checked after changes were made to the database.
  • Fixed a missing binding in the options for 'Show Progress Window'.
  • Dated subfolders can now also be created in the Trash.
  • Corrected drag and drop from the Finder.
  • Fixed a bug in the file name conditions.
  • Added a test button to the preferences window to check the log file viewer application.
  • The installer will now ask for admin authorization.
  • Removed the 'X' from the application name 'TrashLater X'.
  • Ditto in the documentation.
  • New date-formatting algorithm.
  • No 'Checking Suspended' growl message when TrashLater was not enabled.
  • Error messages will now also appear in the Console log.
  • The Cancel button of our error messages can now be correctly selected by the 'Escape' key.
  • Minor internal remodelling for improved code quality.
  • Changed build number sequence to be project-specific. The old build number of the previous version was 535 which corresponds to 249 in the new revision sequence.
  • Fixed a typo regarding the sales coupon.
  • Built with Xcode 2.4.1 using gcc 4.0.1.
