How do I view killed files?

Hello,

The documentation is indeed lacking, but I found how to make it work with views. Partly.

In the killfile config settings:
Automatically filter out killfiled content from all views: No (unchecked)

Your user role should have access to killfiled content

Install Views module (if you have not already done that)

Create a new view for nodes.
Name: killfile

Basic Setting
Style: Unformatted
Row Style: Node
Access: access killfiled content

Relationships
Killfile: Node

Page Settings
Path: killfile

This view shows you all nodes that have been killfiled, or more technical: all nodes that have a corresponding nid in the killfile_nodes table.

I haven't found a "clean" way to restore killfiled content.
But when you killfile a node, it creates a new revision of the node.
What I do is, I revert to the version before the killfile, which restores the publishing state and removes the log message.
Then I manually delete the corresponding record from the killfile_nodes table, using phpMyAdmin.

And now I'm climbing on my soapbox:

In my opinion, what this module needs to become a true "Recycle Bin" module, is:

1. View of killfiled nodes
   This means a dependency on the Views module, which I find acceptable.
   This means that you wouldn't have to configure your own view.
2. Easy unkilling (restore) of single nodes
   I suggest automating what I do manually:
   1. Restoring to the version before the kill (or deleting the kill revision?)
   2. Deleting the corresponding record in killfile_nodes
3. Easy restore of multiple nodes.
   When it's implemented for one node, it's just a simple matter of displaying a table of killfiled nodes, with a checkbox in the first column, similar to mass approval of comments.
4. Optional: killfiling node revisions.
   I haven't thought this one trough yet, but it seems that the killfile_nodes table is ready for it: it has a nid and a vid column.

Getting off the soapbox.
This module has real kick-ass potential and it's already halfway there.
I reeeeeally hope that the developer appreciates this input.

@amedee: I had thought of doing the same thing with views but thought that there had to be some sanctioned method from the maintainer - but apparently it just sort of drops off from there. I am second your suggestions for the roadmap --- I love the idea for this module. I feel so bad for my clients when all they wanted to do is delete a file from the node and end up deleting the node.
