TrashMagic: Recover deleted files from the Trash
Monday, June 12th, 2006
Obviously, few things are more harmful to your productivity than deleting files that you are working on by accident.
TrashMagic offers an additional back-stop. It keeps a cache of your Trash and allows you to recover files that you have deleted by accident or destroyed in a reckless spring-clean only to discover that you really do need them a week later.
The Preferences pane allows you to set the amount of space it may use for its cache, the length of time to keep files and more:
The Data Recovery pane lists the files in the cache and offers you options to flush the cache permanently or recover individual files:
An updated version (1.0.1) was released today which adds password-protection to the Recovery function.
The demo version will only recover files that have been deleted within the last five minutes, but still gives you a good sense of whether this is a life-saver for you or not.
Life-saving comes at a price. TrashMagic costs USD 49, making the most expensive piece of software ever to appear on Hawk Wings (except for FastMailBase).
Test-drive the demo and read more about its features on the developer’s web site
