OT: Equivalent to Windows Shift-Delete?Posted by mark@avolution
I generate a lot of test *.movs from FCP and they end up in the trash can.
In Windows from "My Computer" you can select the file and hold "shift" whilst pressing delete; which bypasses the "Recycle Bin" and deleted it after a confirmation. Is there an equivalent option in Mac OS X to achieve the same thing?
to move to the trash:
command(apple)+backspace to delete trash: command(apple)+shift+backspace For instant answers to more than one hundred common FCP questions, check out the LAFCPUG FAQ Wiki here : [www.lafcpug.org]
This is slightly different; with shift-delete; this will take an active file and
bypass the recycle-bin before it goes there. Say in Windows I am working in 3ds Max and I have a file called test1.max I do some changes and create a new version called test2.max. From Windows Explorer I go to the 3dsmax directory where I saved these files. I click on test1.max; hold down shift-delete and I confirm it permanent deletion. It gets deleted without going to the recycle bin. (if you only press delete it goes to the recycle bin; then you have the global command "empty recycle bin" I am looking for a Mac equivalent.....

Thanks, I figured as much. It just would be nice to delete files on a file by file basic;
as this is the way I became used to doing such in the Windows world. But I must adapt to the ways of the Mac and the PC.
