What Can Be Trashed

Files

• Any file can be moved to trash
• Files are physically moved to userdata/user_X/.trash/{id}_{name}
• Original path is preserved in the database for restoration

Apps

• Custom apps and some system apps can be trashed
• Trashing an app sets is_active=false in the database
• App metadata (slug, icon, path) is stored for restoration

Protected Apps

These apps cannot be trashed: notes, files, settings, terminal, finanzen, dokumente, app-builder, team-chat

Trash Viewer

Click the trash dock icon to open the Trash viewer app:

• See all trashed items with name, type, and deletion date
• Restore — Returns item to its original location
• Delete — Permanently removes the item
• Empty Trash — Permanently removes all items

Custom Bestaetigungs-Dialog

Der Papierkorb verwendet jetzt einen eigenen Bestaetigungs-Dialog anstelle des nativen Browser-confirm():

• Gestylter Dialog — Passt zum Niuton Dark/Light Theme
• Deutliche Warnung — Klare Beschreibung der Aktion
• Tastatur-Support — Enter zum Bestaetigen, Escape zum Abbrechen

Database

    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    user_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
    item_type VARCHAR(20),  -- 'file' or 'app'
    item_name VARCHAR(255),
    original_path TEXT,
    app_id INTEGER,
    metadata JSONB,
    trashed_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
);
