Description koxinga 2007-04-02 18:53:23 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

If I create a new file with functions f(x)=x and g(x)=f(x), I can't delete f because g depends on it. IMHO, it would be better to have a dialog box offering to delete both.

I made a simple patch to present the kind of behaviour I would like. It is rather crude, especially if there are several dependances, there will be several dialogs.

(if you don't use my patch, the label of the box should be changed from "This function is depending on another function" to "another function depends on this function". It seems more logical.)

SVN commit 649628 by saxton:

If the user trys to delete a function, and other functions depend on this function, then give the option of deleting these other functions in addition.
Thanks for the good bug report, koxinga.
