An AppleScript to create a size-limited trash can
Authored by: AJB on Nov 07, '06 12:32:36PM

An interesting (but diminishing returns ?) enhancement to this would be to preserve the file modification date - because for metadata pedants, the file hasn't been modified just moved, and if you choose to restore the file from the trash then you have "corrupted" that metadata.

I can't think of any inherent "file moved" metadata off the top of my head (metadata geeks, feel free to pipe up) but one could use the generically extensible metadata now available, and add a "dateTrashed" attribute.
