Everything & $recycle.bin & copy & paste

Post by therube »

Everything (1.5a) & $recycle.bin & copy & paste from $recycle.bin.

  • if recycle_bin_file_system=1
    & you copy & paste a file from $recycle.bin
    it Pastes the "GUID" name
  • if recycle_bin_file_system=0
    & you copy & paste a file from $recycle.bin
    it Pastes the Display Name

are both scenarios returning expected (naming) actions ?

The results are expected.

recycle_bin_file_system=1 (the default value)

The raw recycle bin filename is used.
For example:
C:\$recycle.bin\S-1-5-21-01234567879-01234567879-012345678-1001\$RABC123.txt

This allows you to open files from the recycle bin in programs as a normal file system path is used.



recycle_bin_file_system=0

The virtual recycle bin filename is used.
For example:
Computer\Local Disk (C:)\$RECYCLE.BIN\Recycle Bin\New Text Document.txt

This will have the correct display name.
Some programs will not understand the virtual recycle bin path.



It would be nice if copy-pasting used the display name instead of the $RABC123.ext filename when recycle_bin_file_system=1.
It would require some copy-pasting hooks to fix.
I will consider an option to do this.
