Hi,
Sorry mey English.
I have not found the resources listed below, which I have been suggesting, if they do not actually exist.
1) Append data: to select the file or folder name, append computer date.
options:
- At the beginning or end of the name;
- Date format (YYYMMDD, DDMMYYYY, etc.).
- Space between the name and the date being added.
This option could be added in right click 'Rename special'.

2) Delete folder or file without saving it in the trash. Delete permanently. Right click on folder or file, the option to permanently delete.

Thank you.

@1
"Rename special > Batch Rename..."

Use: <date yyyymmdd hhnn> *

See Help, Adv. Topics, Variables





@2
"File > File Special > "

See Help by searching "wipe" , open "File Menu", scroll to "File Special (submenu)"




.

Thank you for the answer.
The guidelines serve what I suggested. But they are very time consuming.
The basic idea is to use the mouse 'right click' over the folder or file and have options to append date (today) and permanently delete (wipe) without extra menus.

In the case of date, would be added to date (date of the computer) without requiring the user to enter anything.

The problem is that these options you want on right-click are likely ones that others would never want there so...how to please everyone?

I believe that this may be part of what is in Roadmap as CEA (Custom event Actions) but not 100% sure.

The other thing I can suggest is using the TB icons for wipe/nuke instead of going thru menus...and a CTB for the rename...might make it easier?

Hi Nelson Carvalho,
You can try this workaround which requires a registry hack though:

To have easier access to your rename options you could create PFA's (Portable File Association) with e.g. the following content: To test it just copy the code above and paste it into a new PFA.
It certainly helps to have the Button for PFA in your toolbar.
With that you can create your own repository of rename variants.

What's so bad about holding Shift to delete files permanently without using the recycle bin? (Works with all the possible ways to delete a file)
This is only if you weren't looking for an actual wipe of the file which is covered by the other responses...
