Changing the 'send to trash' behaviour.

[GiraffeeDreams]

Because of the limited NAND space, I was wondering if it is possible to change the 'send to trash' behaviour to permanently delete the selected object instead of sending it to the trash.


When I change my PlayStation or MegaCD games I tend to remove ones I don't use, just copying from my external hard drive when needed, I use my computer to remove the old games but I don't want to have to keep using my mac to remove the old ones which can in some cases be a GB or more.


Cheers for any help you can give.

I believe this is on the list for future firmware updates. In the meantime there are two options:


1. Press shift when clicking delete - this will prompt you to bypass trash and delete permanently.


2. Set up a menu option for permanent delete: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/54449-will-we-get-an-equivalent-to-the-standard-linux-shiftdelete/page__p__876997&#entry876997 (I have not tried this)

Just followed the instructions andit works perfectly, thanks dude for the advice and quick response.


I knew about the Shift Delete thing but my wife uses the Pandora a lot too and I didn't want her to accidentally fill the NAND literally with trash.

I also had a setup which linked the garbage bin on the nand to a directory on my SD card. I don't delete anything through the file browser though (very much prefer the terminal) so I haven't really bothered since the last reflash I had to do.
