Feature request for CHS - "Detritus" database(s)
« on: February 19, 2012, 05:17 AM »
Not sure how much of this is possible at present.

Detritus:
  1. rock in small particles or other material worn or broken away from a mass, as by the action of water or glacial ice.
  2. any disintegrated material; debris.

Feature:
(a) As an alternative to deleting the Recycle Bin clip contents, have a switch to remove those clip records (on manual or automatic deletion events) from the Recycle Bin, at periodic intervals, placing them into date-referenced "detritus" databases. ("Nothing ever lost.")
(b) Have the ability to search detritus databases selected individually or as a group, on an ad-hoc basis.
(c) Have the ability to copy selected clip records from detritus into the current/active "main" database.
(d) Have the ability to select detritus databases for maintenance - e.g., searching and weeding-out (permanent deletion) of clip records.

Regards,
