Unable to Delete Links to worn objects in the Inventory window

[canny[bot]]

When attempting to delete a link to a worn object in the Inventory window is generating errors as if you were deleting the actual object being worn. This was observed in the outfits folder, but appears to affect links anywhere in inventory.

Messages are:

1) Some item(s) you wish to delete are being worn on your avatar. Remove these items from your avatar? (Option to Remove item(s) and delete or Cancel. Choosing Remove item(s) and delete will detach the object but only delete the link. The root object remains intact.)

2) Some item(s) you wish to delete are required clothing layers (skin, shape, hair, eyes). You must replace those layers before deleting them. (No option other than to close error).

Expected behavior is you should be able to delete a link regardless of whether the object is attached or not. Did not happen in previous viewer release.

Workaround: It's still possible to delete worn links in the Appearance window. We need the same functionality back in the Inventory window.

Here's the use case: A common use of the outfit system is to have a single outfit with your base look - hair, body, skin, eyes, etc - and then have secondary outfits with just clothes. The outfit system by default saves everything you're wearing so after creating the outfit you then go in to edit the outfit and remove the items that are in the base look. In that case you're just clearing out the links but you're wearing some of the items and don't want to have to switch out just to do basic maintenance. Advantages of setting up outfits like this include reduced clutter and the ability to set up several base looks with separate clothing outfits and mix and match as desired.

As for links in other locations, you might just be doing inventory maintenance and don't want to have to change shape/hairbase/eyes/skin or detach an item you're wearing just to clear out excess links that are no longer needed.

Being able to delete links without it affecting the linked object has been standard behavior for years and a lot of people leverage it.
