Greetings,
I was looking for a quick way to delete files from finder but not have to drag them. I was trying to perform that function in Launchbar. I found out after the fact, that I could have just used the Mac OS keyboard shortcut after selecting the files, and send to trash.
During this process I found out a couple of things.
-
I should have checked to see if there was a built in way to delete the selected files first.
-
I was using Launchbar incorrectly. After looking carefully I was performing and instant-send of the files to Launchbar but was selecting the Trash that showed up first in the list. This happened to be the Trash folder in EagleFiler. I didn’t pay attention to the small text in Launchbar where it was really going.
-
The files were sent to the EagleFiler Trash and they did not go in the Mac Trash even though I thought they were since I had the same set of files in there from another delete.
I should have debugged a littler further into what was really going on before posting and I also was trying to use a new tool to do something when the built in command for deleting would have been much easier.
I hope that helps in understanding what I was doing at the time.
