I have found one fairly nasty bug in GS.Shrinkit 1.0 that I was
wondering if anyone else has experienced. After running GS.Shrinkit,
if I throw something away, my Trah Can Icon dissappears, if I keep
using the system after that the icon becomes a bunch of garbage over
about half my screen which interferes with the icons that I leave on
my desktop. Real pain in the butt...anyone else experience this problem?

After running GS.Shrinkit, >if I throw something away, my Trah Can Icon dissappears, [ ... ] Your problem is not ShrinkIt GS but the icons included with ShrinkIt GS. If you'll open the icon file with a good icon editor (Dave Lyons has a nifty one but I can't recall the name of it) and remove *only* the icons without a filetype in them you'll fix your bug. If anyone has a better way to do it I'd sure like to know! -- Paul Hutmacher | paulh@nuchat.UUCP |Sometimes the only thing a P.O.

Runyon - nrunyon@peruvian.utah.edu > > Email: tjones@hell.utah.edu > Login Name: Thouis Jones In Real Life: tjones Neil (or is it Thouis or Ray?): I heard on GEnie that this is caused by the gshk icons representing some archive filetypes, which specify a file type of "anything else" (type 0, subtype 0). When you toss one of those into the can, the finder gets confused. The suggested remedy: change the file type in these icons to $04 (text), or get rid of the gshk icons file. I used Dave Lyons' DIcEd icon editor to make the modifications, and haven't lost a trash can since. Most of the icons require changing. The first few specify a unique file type, but most use the file name suffix to identify which files are archives. -- Dave Tribby - - - - - ARPA: tribby%hpda@hplabs.HP.COM UUCP: hplabs!hpda!tribby

In-Reply-To: message from tjones%peruvian.utah.edu@cs.utah.edu I've encountered the 'ghost trashcan' bug in ShrinkitGS too. I found that by throwing something away and then selecting 'Empty Trashcan' you can make the can re-appear. (PS: I've never seen the half screen of garbage part though).

In-Reply-To: message from kgreen@pro-angmar.UUCP I've had that happen all the time in the Finder. One time my trashcan even "exploded"...it turned into a square of randomly colored pixels. Talk about weird. Usually though, deleting something does bring it back.
