Firstly
Ralf, convince yourself that unlinking in UR is not only "possible", but also a necessity for UR to call itself a (damn fine) outlining tool. Let's say you have a logically linked task as follows:
-
Jim
-'-- «Phone to organise meeting
-
Today
-'-- «Phone to organise meeting
> If you "delete" the task under
Today, then it will remain under
Jim.
> Furthermore, the task under
Jim will appear to still be logically linked.
> The reason for that is because it IS still logically linked.
> It is logically linked to an item in the
Recycle Bin.
The point that
Kinook made in their post, was that if you use <Shift+Delete>, the task under
Today will be removed, the task under
Jim will remain, AND the logical link will disappear because you used the <Shift> key to override the default "delete to recycle bin" behaviour.
Try this for yourself in Windows Explorer. Highlighting a redundant file and pressing <Delete> will send the file to the recycle bin. Pressing <Shift+Delete> will permanently delete the file.
