Firstly, if I have a file in a sub-group in a database, how do I replicate it to the “root” of the database? There doesn’t seem to be an option to do so in the contextual menu, unless I’m missing it somehow.
Secondly, say I have a file in its original location A, and I replicate it to some other location B (all in the same database). If I decide I don’t want the file to be replicated in location B any more, how do I remove the instance of the replicant in that location B, whilst keeping the other instance of the file in location A?
Ah, I’ve just realised the answer to my second question: I simply select the replicant I wish to delete and either select Data > Move to Trash (or use the contextual menu selection ‘Move to Trash’).
I was just selecting it and pressing the delete key, which throws a dialog asking me if I want to remove the item(s) to trash, which of course I do, but it seems “Move to Trash” has different consequences for replicants depending on whether you evoke it by selecting Data > Move to Trash/using the contextual menu selection ‘Move to Trash’, or by simply pressing the delete key, which confusingly, is also seen as a “move to trash” and which actually removes both replicants
But I shall just select Data > Move to Trash (or use the contextual menu selection ‘Move to Trash’). I also see that command-delete (as opposed to just delete) has my desired consequence. It’s all a bit confusing but I got there in the end.
Right-clicking on the file in question and choosing “Replicate To” shows a submenu of destinations, but they’re all groups: nowhere is the actual root database.
I notice that “Duplicate To” does have the root database as a destination, but “Replicate To” does not.
Can you send a screenshot of your contextual menu showing the root level of the database showing under the “Replicate To” contextual (right-clicked) menu?
