Wastebasket Description

An AppleScript which mimics behavior of the Desktop Trash Icon in Mac OS 9 Why is it called Wastebasket? It is called that way in Memoriam of The British English localisation of the Mac OS which used to call the Trash "Wastebasket.Why should I use Wastebasket?The trash in Mac OS X breaks a fairly fundamental interface guideline (actually the whole dock does that) -It moves about, and can even be hidden. -Gui targets should remain in the same place, so that you don't have to waste time looking closely when aiming for them: For example the Apple Menu, or Hard Disk Icons.It's possible to alias the trash folder to the desktop using terminal, but when you try to eject a disk by dropping it on the icon you have created it doesn't work, it will create an alias of the disk in the trash rather than ejecting itDisclaimer:Wastebasket is provided as is, use it at your own risk: No liability for any damage to your system would be accepted. Also, you may redistribute but not modify Wastebasket.But the good news is that, besides Wastebasket is freeware, it is also extremely compact (It's only about 10 lines long)! What's New in This Release: · Wastebasket now ejects Disks as well.
