Discarding Topics
farVIEW never truly discards a topic. Or, might I say, it simply puts discarded
topics into the Discard pile. When farVIEW creates the farBook, it creates
a special topic, called the Discards topic. Normally, the Discards
topic is not visible, but you can make it visible by selecting the File/Discards
menu
item. You can discard a topic; i.e., make it the child of the
Discards
topic in any of three ways:
-
Select the topic to discard with the RMB, then select the Discard topic
menu item.
-
Select the topic to discard, then press the Delete key.
-
Make the Discards topic visible as described, then drag the discarding
topic onto the Discards topic.
Note that you can easily un-discard a topic by dragging the topic from
the Discards topic to a different parent node. Obviously, you will
have to make the Discards topic visible first.
