As I'm very bored to delete all the times the files and the folders that BMax creates during developing, I write this program that search for the file you want and deletes them!
WARNING: this program can delete ALL...

(Includes source and instructions)

My next idea is to make the program 'resident' and activate it every N-minutes...

Hehe, I remember writing a program to empty my MIDI folder.

Only, it read the subfolder "..\" and started removing everything else!

lol. That's exactly why I would never use an automatic deleter. *shudder* The very idea fills me with dread - no offence, degac! :)

well! I don't feel too really safety with this program... and therefore the idea to make a SAFETYMODE. I'm planning to replace the command DELETE with a command COPY TO TRASHCAN (so there could be a little hope in case of errors...)
If only BMAX ide will come with an automatic option like this one...

I've modified the program to 'move to a temp dir' and the delete the file. So it is more safe.

Well! As I stated I'm not responsable of the use of this program :P Anyway I'm using it with the standard setup included in the .rar file and it works perfectly. For my goals it works.

PS: there is a way (simple) to start and to STOP a program FROM another program?
