this is quite a nice feature, only it should be possible to exclude certain actions, e.g. emptying caches. I regularly have to empty Opera´s cache folder (using it with SandboxIE), which leads to the fact, that the protocoll files are full of thousands of practically unuseful events.
Maybe it could be a "ignore actions within this paths" list or something like that? The action could be still listed as only one event ("17.341 files deleted in C:\bla\caches" instead of flooding the list with unneeded information.
for which i asked in this forum recently. Can anyone help on how to change that button? I guess, this would be something Dopusrt.exe can do, if possible, with that quiet & norecycle attributes, since deleting such a lot of files using norecycle is significantly faster. Thank you!
Doing it using DOS commands would avoid the Recycle bin as well.
Just run this from an MS-DOS type of button:
del /Q /S "M:\Sandbox...\Opera\profile\cache4*"
(Change the "..." so it's the full path of course.)
If cache4 has any subdirectories then their contents will be deleted too, but the subdirectories themselves will be left around. If you need to delete the subdirectories then instead of using the command above, you should remove the caceh4 directory and then re-create it:
That should work, provided the cache4 directory doesn't require any special permissions. (Since the newly created dir will inherit the permissions of the parent, losing any special permissions that were applied to the old dir.)
(It's 2008 and Windows still doesn't have a proper delete command? Crazy.)
