Cut or Delete?

[Donald Gray]

When I want to delete a section or product, I have started to use the 'Cut' feature rather than 'Delete'

Delete only marks the itemes for later purging, whereas Cut removes the thing from the tree immediately (I know it puts it into memory for later pasting but I dont paste it any where - I just forget it & let it drop off the end of the world later!)

Other than the ability to re-instate the deleted items later, is there any risk or problem associated with Cut instead od Delete?

Thanks

hi Donald (again LOL)

the only downside with cutting, that I have found (because I do this too) is that if a product has duplicates elsewhere in the catalogue, it won't allow you to cut it. You'd have to either cut the duplicates first (which means finding them!) or delete instead.

Apart from that, I do the same thing!

Ooooooo - we meet again... Thanks for that Tracy... Comforting that I am not alone out there!

I have'nt got around to using 'Duplicates' yet - So far I havent read up on 'em - been too busy stuffing product up or building a new computer!...

Thanks for your input

Cutting is useful if you want to move components with permutations around, if you drag and drop a component with permutations, the permutations disappear but if you cut and paste, they stay put.
