Re: Remove a reference from a group without deleting reference?

Post by martinjp »

I have the opposite request: when I'm working in a group I'd like to be able to delete a reference completely - from the library, not just from the group. This occurs when I come across a duplicate. Or if I'm in the Watch group and decide I want to remove a reference that I've recently added. The only option I can find is to delete from the group. If I choose that then I have trouble finding the reference again to delete it completely.

I suggest that you mark any references in the group you want to delete (make them hits) and then switch to the Hits group. Now you can delete them from the library with the Delete key or trash icon.

In the next update you'll be able to delete remove references from the library itself when in a static group, smart group, virtual group, or folder by holding down the Shift key when you Delete.
