Description Laurent Bigonville 2010-12-07 13:10:11 UTC 
Hi,

It could be interesting to add a menu entry to allow to remove a subcontact from the contact list without unlinking it first
Comment 1 Philip Withnall 2010-12-12 10:59:11 UTC 
I don't see the use in this. It would add complexity to the interface to deal with a situation which will very rarely happen: I'd expect that each sub-contact only ever gets linked to form a meta-contact once in its lifetime. Unlinking the entire meta-contact to fix a linking mistake is not massively inconvenient given that it will happen very rarely.

Bug #631121 is about improving the linking UI, so if you want to pursue this further please discuss it there. Thanks.
Comment 2 Laurent Bigonville 2010-12-13 10:52:13 UTC 
Well I was meaning, completely removing the user from the rooster, not ungrouping a subcontact.
Comment 3 Philip Withnall 2010-12-13 12:20:18 UTC 
Oh, I see. That might make sense.

Guillaume, what do you think?
Comment 4 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-12-13 14:49:39 UTC 
Yeah, I think being able to remove a specific persona could be nice to have.
