Restore on MacOS absolutely does work. It places the rules right back in the calibre folder where they came from.
Now you may be confusing delete from library and delete from system (not sure the exact term, I’m not in front of my computer)…
If so, yes, recovering from system trash does not send it back to the program.
But when I actively send a file to system trash by choice, and it suddenly no longer is going to system trash but preserving files I chose to delete: that’s a flaw.
By design or not, the old system worked just fine for competent users.
I hope calibre doesn’t join the cliff-dice other big programs are doing: dumbing down and removing useful options for stupid people.
Delete should be delete. We had two options and both worked. Deleting the entry in the program, and deleting the file from the system —to trash.
