Better performance and functionalities of the recycle bin

In a workgroup database, the Recycle Bin today is more a nuisance than a useful feature. When there are too many items in it, it can delay the connection to the database considerably or even make it impossible to connect. The functionalities for selectively restoring or removing items are also very poor. E.g. you cannot select on the user who deleted items, or find the original path in the database where items were deleted from. The only real use is when you accidentally delete something and restore it immediately, but then maybe a personalised recycle bin which only exists during the time of a client session would be more useful.

    This can be an issue with ICMLive, since objects are deleted automatically and can cause the recycle bin to swell to hundreds of thousands of items. This significantly affects the performance of the connection to the database.
