Open files in the trash can
I see this "feature" as a bit of a bug. Consider this scenario: I have files on my work server that I need to work on at home. So I copy the files onto my laptop. When I get back to work, I obviously want to update the files on the server. I copy the files back onto the server, and then the files on my laptop into the trash. If I don't empty the trash -- and then if I select the file in Word's recently used documents -- Word opens the file that is in the trash. I think it should give me an error that the file can't be opened because it's in the trash... just to prevent any (more) problems.
Open files in the trash can
Opening your own document in Word, I don't see that as much of a bug.. unless you mean someone else is accessing your account and they're looking into your trash. Or do you mean that Word is able to access the trash of your user in a different user's account? That would be a bug in Word....
Open files in the trash can
Yes, I think having Word open "my own" files is a bug if those files are in the trash. I would expect there to be a dialog that would say (for example): "Word cannot open this file, because it is in the trash. Drag it out of the trash to use it." Without this warning, it is very easy to make changes to the file in the trash, and then empty the trash, effectively deleting the most recent copy of a file. |
