Improve macOS move to trash support (and mobile and web)

Open kkoreilly opened this issue 8 months ago • 4 comments

Describe the feature

We currently use https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/wastebasket, which uses Finder for moving things to trash on macOS, which is slow and creates .DS_Store files. We should see if we can use Objective-C or something to make this better. We also should add support for move to trash on mobile and web if possible.

Relevant code

We also need to update some of the language on deleting; for example, in file tree, it tells you that you are permanently deleting items even though they are moved to trash on desktop platforms.

Hey, if you are working on this, i'd be happy if we could get this directly into wastebasket. I'll gladly assist in any way I can 😁

@Bios-Marcel Yep, when I work on this, I plan to add it to wastebasket. It is not a high priority, but hopefully I will have the time at some point.
