Redundancy and KS for Recycle Bin

[ivan]

It seems I have found a button that's completely redundant within a XY window. Here's a screen:


Under which circumstance(s) that button isn't greyed out?

Also, I want to assign a KS to prompt for emptying of Recycle Bin. How can I do that? Thank you

assign ks to this script:

Code: Select all

msg "Empty recycle bin?", 1; 
   //ID for empty recycle bin
   #642;
   //Status message
   status Recycle bin is now empty!, ready;

Thanks serendepity. A little hiccup: using your script and assigning it to KS adds an extra step of asking to empty the Recycle Bin. How can we shorten it so it goes straight for #642?

Never. Yep, might be an idea to remove it.

Use CKS. Where's the problem?

you should be able to just use:

//ID for empty recycle bin
#642;

for the shortcut.

or this if you still want the status message:
//ID for empty recycle bin
#642;
//Status message
status Recycle bin is now empty!, ready;

Yep, like eurytos said a simple #642 would do. But I thought you needed a "prompt" before the delete which is why I included the first line.

I don't get why you use scripting for this. Why not simply use CKS?

Actually this is what confused me at first, I thought Ivan needed something different from the CKS.

@Ivan:
You can achieve the same by going to Tools> Custom Keyboard Shortcuts and assign shortcut to Empty recycle bin which is under tools category.

Thank you everyone. I was able to set up a CKS and now all is fine. Let's just hope that Recycle Bin will be integrated into XY soon...
