Whenever i create a project i always nest things inside it. I love the versatility of this. However; when a project is done, i either archive (tag) it or send it to bin/delete. Then i find that all nested objects are not going with them. They stay in the "active" places. From what i read it seems this is because of not accidentally removing objects you also use elsewhere.
This results in a ghosttown of leftover objects that become confusing or having to remember manually fix every nested level. The whole thing becomes poorly organized. I can't code (yet), but below might solve the issue, while still preventing accidental deletions.
When deleting/binning; check if the nested objects are also nested somewhere else. If not delete bin them also. If anyone want to keep certain objects that exist without nesting elsewhere that should be saved, the could nest them under a "safe" so they are always nested. Alternatively there could be a "pin" function that prevents deletion/binning that object.
There should be an archive function, just like deleting/binning. Archiving should nest the object (and all objects withing, just like with above) to an object that can be chosen by the user. For instance a collection. When hitting the Archive button without an Archive target set, it could ask to choose or create one.
