Please implement a ‘secure delete’ feature for the trash bin, with prefs to allow for the number of times to iterate the shredding process.
I have already created a file shredder at http://www.haiku-security.com/ but it is just a unix-tool wrapper.
Thanks for all your hard work!

Please upload the files you want to shred to

On a serious note, does secure delete work with BFS?
I think I read that it doesn’t work with some filesystems,
where you can’t be sure the same area is being written to,
or the data may be written elsewhere too, like in filesystems
that do full data journaling.
Delete should remain a two step-process. Step one places file(s) in trash bin for access by undelete. Step two empties the trash. This second step needs to have a system option allowing either the standard delete mechanism allowing for oh-no! recovery or the suggested shredding mechanism. Default is the standard delete.
One further recommendation. Because most shredders do not affect the file header (boot block entry???), this needs to be erased, if shredding is selected.
