Keep N jobs |
If set to zero, jobs are deleted immediately when they arrive in the Recycle bin (unless another Keep ... jobs property applies). If non-zero, the Recycle bin only deletes the jobs when the total number of jobs in the Recycle bin exceeds the given limit (N); the oldest jobs are then deleted until the number of jobs in the Recycle bin is once again under the limit. Note: The different "Keep...jobs" properties of the Recycle bin
tool are independent; jobs are deleted as soon as they
exceed the limit of any of the "Keep ... jobs"
properties.

tool are independent; jobs are deleted as soon as they
exceed the limit of any of the "Keep ... jobs"

Keep jobs for N (hours) |
If set to zero, jobs are deleted immediately when they arrive in the Recycle bin (unless another Keep ... jobs property applies). If non-zero, the Recycle bin only deletes the job after a specific number (N) of hours; any job that is older than the limit is permanently removed from the Recycle bin. Note: The different "Keep...jobs" properties of the Recycle bin
tool are independent; jobs are deleted as soon as they
exceed the limit of any of the "Keep ... jobs"
properties.

Move to system recycle bin |
If set to No (default), jobs moved to the Recycle bin are deleted permanently. If set to Yes, jobs deleted by the Recycle bin tool are not permanently deleted but instead moved to the system Recycle bin, so they can be recovered if they were deleted by accident. Note that you need to empty the bin regularly, otherwise you'll run out of disk space. |
Strip unique name |
Only available if Move to system recycle bin is set to Yes. If set to Yes, the unique name prefix added to the filename by Switch is removed before moving the job to the system Recycle bin. |
