Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200708020000) If one selected more then one XML schema element and want to delete all of them - there is no way to do so. Even if few elements selected delete prompts of one element deletion and do so. I'm not sure is this defect of enhancement...
Correction. This is defect: multiple deletion doesn't work only on Schema view. While on Design view there number of deletion prompts, as many prompts as elements selected. BTW all elements deleted from Design page stay visible. This is not same issue as fixed 107006 and I'll file new one.
There are a couple of issues here (i) There are two menu items, Delete and Refactor -> Delete with the same action. Please see http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=111111 I am going to decouple them. Delect menu item will do normal delete without any refactoring. Refactor -> Delete will do delete with refactorings. (ii) Refactor Delete of multiple items was not possible in 5.5 nor it has been added in 6.0. This is an enhancement that is required to the current framework. I will convert this issue into a enhancement Going forward the behavior will be as follows, which is the same as in 5.5 (i) If user selects more than one item, Refactor -> Delete will be deactivated and the user will be able to use the Delete menu item to delete these items (ii) Is user selects only one item, user can choose Delete or Refactor -> Delete
As I know currently "Delete" and "Refactor -> Safe Delete" both point to one action. In previous builds (two-three months ago and earlier as I remember) there were different actions. So I don't think this is enhancement...
Delete and Refactor -> Delete should point to different actions. This is a bug and not an enhancement Refactor -> Delete of multiple items is an enhancement.
Would you please specify the difference? Both actions cause same dialog prompt. Both actions add new same undo action. What is the difference? Mikhail as far as I remember we disscussed a little about and agree there is only way do delete something from xml using schema view: refactoring.
No answer so I assume this is defect... There is required functionality but last accessible only from one view.
As I mentioned in my earlier evaluation, there are two issues here. (i) Currently, Delete and Refactor -> Delete open the same dialog, add the same undo action. This is a BUG...Two menu items do the same thing, confusing the user. This is incorrect. See http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=111111 (ii) Refactor -> delete of more than 1 item is enhancement. If the only way to delete items is through refactor -> delete , then I will be removing the "Delete" option from the context menu. Refactor -> delete of more than 1 item will be revisited in next release.
