Can 'Recycle Bin' be enabled for CIFS and OS 6.1.2 on a 314?
The older 4.x version of the OS allowed a Recycle Bin when using CIFS. Is this possible on the new OS 6.1.2? I noticed a recycle.conf file in '/data/._share/media' containing: 25000,0

I did get Recycle Bin working on 6.1.4, but had to manually edit some configuration files to make it work.
If anyone is interested, I will tell you how I did it.
EDIT.
The reason I want Recycle Bin and not use snapshots to restore previous versions is because I don't want the files actually deleted; I still want them accessible.
I use Plex Media Server to manage my content. When I am finished watching a tvshow, etc I delete the show and then it is moved into Recycle Bin. Other family members have the Recycle Bin as a source for their media sections. That way even though I deleted the file, it is still available for others to view. Then every few months I go ahead and permanently delete the media files in Recycle Bin that have been viewed by others.
