Re: [Etoys] Erase tile usage

Scott Wallace
Good point.  Perhaps, actually, the "erase" command should always do  
the silent removal you mention, and there should be a different tile  
command, something like "move to trash", for use when that's what the  
user really wants...

I'll cross-post this to the Squeakland mailing-list, hoping for  
comments...

Cheers,

   -- Scott

Not until someone speaks up who needs that, imho.

I think in a script, a silent erase is really what one wants.

I agree with Bert. I think we only need one erase. If someone whats the
old behavior they can script it them self with etoys :-)
