Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
The outliner context menu needs an extensive cleanup.

).Delete
entry is still shown, but it is mapped to delete objects and not modifiers.A refactoring of most (all?) of the outliner operators and related code is needed to address these issues. Some work has already started with D7558: Outliner: Add new delete operator by combining the object and collection delete operators into a separate operator.
The proposed behavior of the new context menu:
If selection exists, but the right-click target is outside of the selection, the target will replace the selection If the target is already selected, no selection will be modified
object_operation
,id_operation
, etc. operators will be split up into smaller, more focused operators.** One benefit of the current combined operators is that they can share logic (like loops over the outliner tree). A function to iterate through the tree returning only the objects supported for the operation can be created to be used in each operator.
Object Select Hierarchy
andCollection Select Objects
operators to select child objects. The behavior of these are essentially the same; select the objects in the tree beneath the selected object. In this case, synced selection of object makes this a very easy operator to implement: recursively select the objects in the tree. This will remove similar/duplicated code. An additional benefit is that these operators will work when synced selection is disabled by selecting the outliner elements and then syncing to objects if syncing is enabled.Object Select
andObject Deselect
don't make much sense in a context menu when those are supported now by synced selection.Overall there are two targets:
