list.deleted shows the temporarily deleted data (deleted by
delete button, which is only tagged with deletion mark in the *.rqda file).
pdelete permanently deletes them.
CleanProject cleans the *.rqda file (call pdelete with every possible
value for the type argument).
undelete removes the temporarily deletion mark to reuse the temporarily deleted data.
list.deleted(type=c("file","code","case","codecategory","filecategory"))pdelete(type=c("file","code","case","codecategory","filecategory","coding"),
ask=FALSE)
CleanProject(ask=FALSE)
undelete(type=c("file","code","case","codecategory","filecategory"),ask=TRUE)
Types of elements in the *.rqda file. "file" is the name of file (in the Files Tab). "code" is the name of codes (in the Codes Tab). "case" is the name of case (in the Case Tab). "codecategory" is name of code category (in the C-Cat Tab). "filecategory" is name of file category (in the F-Cat Tab). "coding" is the text segment associated with specific code.
You can choose which ones to be deleted when is TRUE. Otherwise, it will delete all with temporarily deletion mark.
For list.deleted, a data frame if there are some records with
temporarily deletion mark for the specified type.
For pdelete, CleanProject and undelete, no value is return. These
functions are used for the side-effects.
By GUI, you can delete file, code, case, code category and file
category. When you click the delete button, the status of related elements
(e.g. for file, the elements including file, related coding, related case
category and file category) are set from 1 to 0. In this sense,
deletion from GUI is temporary. After that, you can use
list.deleted to show which ones are tagged as deleted.
By pdelete, you can permanently delete those tagged with
temporarily deletion mark. By undelete, you can undo the
temporary deletion, the status of related elements are set back to 1.
When ask is FALSE, it will apply to all the appropriate elements of specific type. When it is TRUE, you can choose the elements of the specific type which the action (pdelet or undelete) applies to.
