Delete

These plugins enable you to delete Dalet Flex objects.

Delete

This plugin provides a rudimentary delete function. It simply moves a file to a different folder and flags the asset as deleted. Note that when an asset is deleted in Dalet Flex, the underlying file (if it exists) is moved to a user-defined folder used for deleted assets. The underlying file is not actually deleted and can therefore be restored, using the restore action. Dalet Flex keeps of track of where the file resides before deletion so that a restore can occur in the future. When a delete occurs, the asset will reside within the trashbin.

This plugin also acts on group assets. In this case, it simply sets it as deleted and it will be stored in the trashbin.
