In this context, I'm talking about the command name from the p.o.v. of the user, i.e. the menu item title (not the command name in the sense of Cocoa.) That MUST be Delete (and not "Remove from Group"), because it is the SAME command for delete that may be used in OTHER contexts (such as text editing), because it is bound to the Delete key. We don't control the menu item title in those other contexts (because that's Apple's domain) therefore we also cannot change the title in the context of the main table. And there really ARE two different menu items. One is called Delete (which MUST be called Delete as explained above), and the other is called "Delete from Library" (hold down the Option key to see it.) And there is always a group selected, it just may be the Library group. In that case, the two delete actions are actually equivalent, because removing from the Library group is the same as deleting from the database. > "Adam R.
