RecycleManager measure


Measure=RecycleManager monitors the state of the recycle bin.

Note: RecycleManager was previously a plugin measure.

In many existing skins you might see the syntax:

[MeasureRecycle]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RecycleManager
or
Plugin=RecycleManager.dll
or
Plugin=Plugins\RecycleManager.dll

RecycleManager still works with those forms, and changing existing skins to the new Measure=RecycleManager syntax is entirely optional. However, new skins created going forward should use the correct syntax for accuracy and clarity. RecycleManager is a measure, and not a plugin.

[MeasureRecyle]
Measure=RecycleManager

Options
