Can a "Recycle Bin " App be made? - Not particularly interested in Snapshots!
Can a "Recycle Bin " App be made? - Not interested in Snapshots! Running OS6 and looking for the OS5 option of a "Recycle Bin" I have spotted this old thread below that talks of this, but wanted...
Thanks for the reply StephenB, that is exactly why I asked if it could be "made into an app?"
I have found snapshots problematic and time-consuming to navigate and simply miss the recycle bin option.
Surely it's a walk in the park for someone in the forum, or even god forbid, Netgear to convert the directions in the link I provided to an app to enable it as a simple feature.
The original article is from 2013, is it actually a current workaround?
FYI, Stephen, I was a very active forum member before the forum software made it impossible for me to find anything. Removing old article links also threw away a lot of useful info. The lack of genuine useful help is driving people away from Netgear to other brands. Sad state of affairs, in my opinion, all due to Netgear killing the forum functionality.

Though I haven't done it myself, the post here looks correct: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Can-Recycle-Bin-be-enabled-for-CIFS-and-OS-6-1-2-on-a-314/m-p/856712#M26776
You do want to put everything into addons.conf because that isn't rebuilt by the ReadyNAS software.
I haven't analyzed the longer scripts in the thread.

If you use Windows, you can just right-click on the file and look at previous versions.
Though the functionality isn't really quite the same as the recycle bin.

There are apps in other places than apps.readynas.com, so I was intending to say that I don't know of any apps anywhere for this.
It probably wouldn't be difficult to create one, so perhaps someone will. You could reach out to WhoCares_ either here or through rnxtras.com.
