Hey guys, I am looking for a desperately needed Apple-Del, send to trash extension for 7.0.1 (A/UX) or just 7.0.1 is fine, I am sure.

and as a bonus does anyone have a "StickyClick" that works for 7.0.1 (A/UX) or just 7.0.1 is fine, too.

Those are the most needed functions, by far!

It's so hard to work without them.

This will make my hobby Saturday complete.

Thanks!!

 
damnit, in A/UX 7.0.1• it says "Cannot be used with this Macintosh" damn damn damn!

but on another note, oh hell yeah armor alley!!

gotta load that up!

 
oh btw, Now Utilities 6 is loaded tho and somewhat works, Apple-Shift-Del works to empty the trash but not the Apple-Del to move to the trash, this is in Now Quickfiler, I wonder if I need AppleScript, can you load AppleScript for 7.0.1•?

Thanks tho btw!

 
I think the hooks only existed in 7.1.2, but you can see if Scriptable Finder (optional?) and the extensions don't blow up hideously.

 
7.1.2 68k edition, or 7.1.2 Power Mac edition?

I'm honestly not sure how much different there is between them. I'm a 68k purist, so I don't dabble in Power Mac stuff.

7.1.2 68k edition, mostly easily obtainable from the Apple Legacy Software Recovery CD, comes with System 7.1.2 and Finder 7.1.4, which is scriptable (the only other pre-7.5.1 version that is scriptable is Finder 7.1.3, which was part of certain software installs)

yeah I am locked in to 7.0.1• with A/UX, bummers, guess I'll have to get to writing some code, cause it's really the only annoying thing, to have drag drag drag to the trash, over and over. ugh

But a project is a project and should be fun!

Thanks guys!

 
I'd assume, being UNIX, that you could make a bash droplet. No? Perhaps something that could be launched by keystroke?

Yeah that's what I am working on, but I gotta figure out how to get "current selection" being that there's no AppleScript.  I am not to worried tho, using the unix side help in these situations, rm is a little rough just because no "oops", but the other thing is I would have to determine if it's a directory for rmdir, and then I still haven't found a way to do rmdir -r this version of "unix" or version of rm, doesn't support that flag, it's crusty and old.  But I am still setting this up, it's a project for sure.  But I did get ssh up and running that was needed badly.  And now that thats done I can sit on the couch and chill, with my AUX box.

Laters...
