In this blog I will post announcements and give insights into software development topics for True North products. This will help you to understand what goes on under the hood.


Station Trash

Update: It appears the company Semibits has gone out of business and thus theBin is no longer available.

A common feature request for Station is to ask for trash functionality on the root panel like it is on Apple's dock. Recently a customer wrote to me about the trash issue and stated he found a program called "theBin" and he successfully used it within Station as a trash bin. I was intrigued and went out and tried theBin and bought it! If you want to add a trash bin to Station, then I am recommending using theBin to do so. theBin has some unique features which you my find handy.

There is one caveat with using theBin with Station. Station picks up the application's generic icon and not the image that is displayed in Apple's dock. That interface has a special API between the dock and the application and there is no way for Station to intercept the image displayed in Apple's dock. Otherwise, theBin is fully functional within Station.
