Compost is a preference pane and daemon that allows per-user limits on the maximum size and age of trash contents. It will incrementally purge files to meet those restrictions.
Also included are a contextual menu plugin that allows immediate deletion and emptying of the trash on specific volumes, and a replacement for the stock trash Get Info window that actually provides useful information.
Compost lets you set a time limit on your trash, cap its size, and maintain a minimum amount of space.
Here are some key features of "Compost":
Secure Deletion:
Security for your sensitive files
Flexibility
Change settings both globally and for each disk
Empty Individual Cans:
A contextual menu item to empty the trash on a single disk (and optionally unmount it)
Shredding:
A contextual menu item to immediately erase files, bypassing the trash
Detailed Information:
A replacement Get Info window for the trash can that tells you how much space is taken up overall and on each disk.
Limitations:
If you're running an unregistered copy you may see a brief reminder that looks like the brightness and volume status displays pop up when Compost deletes items according to your settings. After running for 5 hours, a persistent reminder will appear in the lower-right corner.
What's New:
Corrected a problem building the empty and empty/eject submenus for non-English users.
