Re: trm - a command that removes files into a temporary "trash" folder



Stas!

The idea was to automate the process of removing files to trash, such that
new files moved into a trash that has older files with the same name,
wouldn't replace the old files but rather be renamed with a suffix .0, .1
etc. Otherwise, a simple move to trash is one step away from a real
removal.

Cheers!!
