Re: DB Consistency (internal hyperlinks)

Quote:
1. how can user search for hyperlinks to a given item? At the moment I search only for a text string matching item's title, which is not robust for several reasons (links can be renamed, strings that are not links are found, ...). Please, provide this feature
What did you have in mind?
The user selects an item and wonders "what other items in this database have I internally linked this item to?". They right-click the item and select the find facility that presents all internally linked items in the "Child Items" pane.

2. when deleting an item, the links that point to this item (contained in other items' body) become dead links. Could user be warned about this? Otherwise, db becomes inconsistent with various dead links pointing to nowhere.
I noticed this early on whilst using UR. I don't reckon it's worth worrying about too much. There's already a reasonable amount of work for UR to do when the user deletes an item. I guess we could ask for a facility that you manually run to clean-up dead links and the like?
