FileUtility is an application and service for deleting files and folders without using the trash and more. Visit the website for more information and a demo. File utility is for: • Moving the data fork of a file into the resource fork, then deleting the data fork. • Listing all resources in a resource fork by ID, type and name. • Deleting a files data fork. • Deleting a files resource fork. • Deleting a file, folder or folder contents (i.e. without moving to the trash.) • Displaying a files fork sizes. Choose from the following items in Preferences, or the Services menu: • Delete File: Delete the file immediately (it is not put in the trash.) • Delete Container: Delete the container and all its contents immediately (they are not put in the trash.) • Delete Container Contents: Delete the containers contents (they are not put in the trash.) • Flip Delete Data Fork: Move the data fork of a file into the resource fork, then delete the data fork. If a resource fork does not exist, one will be created. In either case the data fork data will be appended to the resource fork. • Delete Data Fork: Delete the files data fork of a file. • Delete Resource Fork: Delete the files resource fork of a file. • Show Fork Sizes: Show the files total size, data fork size and resource fork size. • Dump Resources: Generate a file that lists all resources types and IDs, then display it.
