A simple trashbin.
Drag some files and drop them in the trashbin.
The trashbin icon uses the theme colors for icons.

Add the following lines to /appdata/system/startup.lua:

create_process("/desktop/trashbin.p64", {
	argv = {
		config_path="/appdata/trashbin.pod",
		trash_dir="/trash"
	}
})

Modify the values for config_path and the trash_dir at will.
The trash_dir will be generated and a trashbin icon will be set in the metadata.
Double-click on the trashbin will open the configured trash_dir in the filenav app.
You can drag and drop the trashbin and it is saved immediately in
the pod configured in the config_path.

Hi @kr1sp1n, nice to see you here

The uploaded cart needs to be in .p64.png -- is that the problem? You can convert to png by copying it:

cp foo.p64 foo.p64.png

You can then insert it into this post using the id you uploaded with:

[ #foo_id# ] (with added spaces here to make this readable in a post)

@zep Thanks for the hint with the cp command.
I copied and renamed it outside of Picotron and that seems to corrupt the file somehow.

Great tool!

A simple suggestion for the sprite. By dropping the top half of the full sprite down one pixel it makes the bulge feel more dynamic.

> I copied and renamed it outside of Picotron and that seems to corrupt the file somehow

yes – only picotron converts the file format with the cp command, other operating systems are just changing the file name

@washburnello Thanks for your suggestion!
I changed it and since v1.1.0 it's in the cartridge.

Is there a way for the trashbin icon to colour coordinate with the system theme?
It doesn’t seem to change on mine…

I’ve had to reshade the icon itself so that it works

How do we empty the trashbin? If I delete the files in the /trash/ directory on windows it throws a runtime error.

Made my own Waste bin icon.

Followed SabeDoesThings YouTube tutorial for the code.
