FileAssassin Feature Request: Folders

[KingSky]

Hi,

It would be a lot easier if you could add folders to FA. Would it be possible for FileASSASSIN to run through each file in a folder when a folder is added, and if any are locked go ahead and kill them, then delete the folder?

I had a similar thought on this line. I know that FA would be easily capable, but Marcin is concerned about users deleting important files. With the ability to delete folders, there's a greater chance that someone may end up deleting crucial system files. My idea for this is a command line switch-If they're smart enough to figure that out, they should be smart enough to know what to delete.

Sure, I will consider adding it in a few days when I get some time.

Kevin,

I attempted to add it to today however failed miserably. I wrote the FileASSASSIN code to only handle files and it would involve recoding the entire application. I may try to puruse the idea in a few more months when I have some time.

Thanks!

I understand the concern about deleting important files accidentally, but I guess if you are deleting a folder that you really know you want to, and is locked by Windows, you probably (hopefully) know what you are doing.

I appreciate you trying to add this.

I'm on Vista Business Edition by the way

Thanks,
