files-search.page: mention saved searches can be manipulated just like a file
Last modified: 2011-05-27 18:18:02 UTC
My question after I created a saved search was: how can I delete it? If I delete the saved search, are all matched files gone too? I guess not, but I'll stick with my ignorance for safety. Maybe we should clarify that a saved search is like a file, and can be manipulated like a file, not an actual directory.
Created attachment 188517 [details] [review] updated page to describe how to delete saved searches
I would say that deleting saved search folders does not actually delete the found files. But that is OK too.
You're absolutely right. I realized that my first patch did not quite cover it, so I updated it on git. Here is the new text: In order to remove the search file when you are done with it, simply <link xref="files-delete">delete</link> the search as you would any other file. Please note that this saved search behaves like a file rather than a folder, and does not actually contain the items it lists. Deleting the search does not affect those files. I've added it to the branch origin/gnome-3-0
