As much as I disagree with Skeeve in general, I must agree with the point
about emptying the Trash. I don't want any app emptying it without my
say-so. It's not that I leave stuff in there; I usually empty it
immediately after putting something in. But if for whatever reason I
haven't done that, I certainly don't want an app doing it for me without
warning. By the same token, if the Trash suddenly has stuff in it that I
didn't put there, that'll make my nose twitch as well, and I'll waste time
looking to see what's in there...

I understand. That's the reason that my script left stuff in the Temporary Items folder and didn't move them to the trash.


However, if something suddenly appeared in the trash after running a script, my first inclination would be that the script put it there. And if I ever distributed a script that put something in the trash, I certainly would note that in the documentation.

Of course, who actually reads documentation?
