Discuss: Remove read-outline-only command?

[Edward K. Ream]

#3492 suggests fixing an interface problem with Leo's read-outline-only command.

Instead, I propose removing this command entirely:

- It has no apparent use.

- Saving the resulting outline might corrupt external files.

Does anyone use this command? Does anyone see any reason for keeping it?

I suppose this command exists in case something goes wrong with an external file such that Leo can't open the outline.  I don't know if that is possible or not.  Suppose it's possible.  I would open a new outline, and try to import that external file in the hopes that I could figure out the problem.  I wouldn't want to keep trying with the original outline in case it were to get damaged.

So I agree, I would scrap this command unless we wear from others that it has been helpful to them.
