Hello,
in this message a do a plea to introduce a /bin/del command into the coreutils.
Deleting is something totally different than removing. It is a mv action and
there must be a restore action.
With the coreutils, removing is the default. This is not wrong, but it can be
very anyoing, as I have experiences with the mv command. The current coreutils
work like an incinerator. There is no way back.
There exist file managers with a recycle bin to solve the problem. But I think
they all work differently. Switching from file manager therefore is not
obvious. If there would be a /bin/del command, these file managers all could do
a system call to he SAME routine, with the same functionality.
How must this del command work? Look, on the net one finds a plethora of tools
to do the job in a command line way.
I ask you, coreutils developers to develop a /bin/del, that combines the best
of these tools.
Regards,
Francky
