Optionally, it can ReMove files to Desktop trash, restore files, +list files to be selected for restore, and purge (permanently delete) +files that were trashed x number of days ago. + +After rmw is installed, create the user configuration directory by typing +'rmw' and hitting enter. It's recommended to copy /etc/rmwrc (or +/usr/local/etc/rmwrc) to $HOME/.config/rmw and then rename it to 'config': + +'cd ~/.config/rmw' +'~/.config/rmw$ cp /etc/rmwrc .' +'~/.config/rmw$ mv rmwrc config' + +Then edit the file to suit your needs. + +A generic configuration file looks like this: + +WASTE = $HOME/.trash.rmw +#WASTE = $HOME/.local/share/Trash +purge_after = 90 + +PROTECT = / +PROTECT = $HOME + +Waste folders will be created automatically. (e.g. if '$HOME/trash.rmw' +is listed in the config file, these 3 directories will be created: +$HOME/trash.rmw +$HOME/trash.rmw/files +$HOME/trash.rmw/info + +If you'd like rmw to be tied in to your existing Desktop Trash, uncomment +'#WASTE = $HOME/.local/share/Trash' + +What will happen is when files get rmw'ed, you'll see them in your Desktop +Trash, and rmw will check your Trash to see if it's time to purge any files. + +== Purging == +If purging is 'on', rmw will permanently delete files from the folders +specified in the configuration file after 'x' number of days. Purging +can be disabled by using 'purgeDays = 0' in configuration file. rmw will +only check once per day if it's time to purge.
