save deleted documents, history mode, retention policies

[Jordi Ferran Sanchez]

(1) I believe SeedDMS does not save deleted documents. I would like a confirmation about this being actually true even for the newest release version v5.0.0.

(2) I also would like to know if anyone is working or considering to work on adding this feature to SeedDMS.
I do consider that an Enterprise Document Management System requires a repository having an advanced parameter to avoid deletion of documents. Applied to an scenario like a government, it could require a history-mode to define rules related to legal retention policies. Which I consider to be very useful when dealing with bills, contracts, and other documents.

So if nobody is working on this feature I might consider working on it myself.

Thanks in advance for any reply.

I have some initial code for implementing a trash can. Meaning, that every document being deleted will be moved into this trash can instead of physically deleting it. It uses some new features of seeddms 5.x and is implemented as an extension. It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it is a similar mechanism that might be adoptable.
