Something I just noticed that could cause problems is that when you delete files using this version of emelfm2, it moves the files to /home/dsl/.local/share/Trash/files. This could cause problems if you delete large files - I noticed it when my backup became bloated to 94MB

There does not appear to be a configuration option to limit the size of the Trash folder nor to permanently delete files. One option could be to start emelFM2 with "--trash=/dev/null"

Edit: I guess you could also delete all the files in the Trash folder on shutdown using /opt/powerdown.sh

Maybe they could be shredded?

Shredder code:

exec aterm -T shredder -e shred -uvz -n 3 "$@"

or: "shred -uvz -n 3 /file"

if it's anything like the emelfm in 4x, then why not make one of the buttons to empty the trash ?
