Open files in the trash can
Authored by: copychief on Mar 28, '03 11:40:22AM

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.
