yeah, working with DLL's and calling other script languages isn't really KiX:ing, is it?

This seems like an elementary function that really should be supported natively if you ask me...

@NTDOC, I don't think the system needs to be aware of the Norton thing, if so, every application written for win would need to be aware of different AV-functions. I think it works on another level?

k, lets get the facts straight a little bit.
starting from binmanager.
that dll is nothing more but shell object wrapper and thus totally unneeded for this.

and what comes to recygle bin being something a scripting language should support natively.
eh, lets start by someone showing a scripting language that already does.

recycle bin is a gui undo helper for helpless end-users.
so why would any scripter want to say, "hey, I'm helpless and don't know wtf I'm doing, please give me undo!"
and, "please do place the files in the recycle bin, so my end users can also see that I do write scripts but I have no idea what I'm doing, so they can laught at me."

it just doesn't make any sense.

You can't just generalize like that m8... for me, a function like this natively makes ALOT of sense. It all depends on what you're doing with the script. And since KiX is more of a general sysadmin processor than a login script processor, it makes even more sense.

Let's say you have a script that empties a folder with any given interval. Maybe one would want backup for that.

Let's say you've got a KiXform application which has delete-functionality in it.

Let's say an end-user has been assigned a script by a sysadmin with a del-function in it.

Lot's of usability.

well that's it's sole purpose and why it's there in the first place, so yes.
