This ReadMe is included because a lot of people don't read guides, but I feel this information is
important enough to warrant a specific mention.
This program offers the option to delete files in several ways, either individually or in batches.
Pattern matching can, in some cases, be used to set a list of files to delete.
THESE OPTIONS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND DESTRUCTIVE. Extreme caution should be employed when using them.
Because of the way in which the Amiga can deal with shortcuts and hard links, it is possible for a
single file to appear in two different directories. If one copy is deleted, so is the other (since
they are the same). These links are transparent to GHelp, and you should be sure that you really want
to delete a file before choosing any of the delete options.
THE MOST DANGEROUS OF THE DELETE OPTIONS IS THE "DELETE DUPLICATES" BUTTON. This is found on the list
of duplicated files after an index operation. GHelp only looks for matches in filename and filesize to
determine if something is a duplicate. If the same file is added to the index twice, it will be
reported as a duplicate, and using the "Delete Duplicates" option would delete your only copy of the
file.
GHelp is NOT a file manager. It's purpose is to give easy access to your Help files. These options are
added for convenience only. I make it clear that I accept no responsibility whatsoever for your usage
of these options. If you are not absolutely sure of what you are doing, don't use these options.
Thanks for listening.
Steve.
