Delete files from outside Plastic

[Guillaume M]

When a file is deleted locally without using Plastic, it gets the
status "Controlled / Not on disk".
Is there a way to quickly find all these files in the current
workspace from Plastic ? (ie: something like the Search->Changed Items
from the Items view).

And once I located a "Controlled / Not on disk" file, how can I tell
Plastic this file has been deleted ? (The Delete option is disabled).
Do I have to do an Update to get the file back, then do Delete ?

Yes, right now you'd have to download it (update) and then delete it.

Precisely this morning I had a short meeting with a couple of engineers
discussing a command to find modifications (like findchanged) but able
to find deleted elements and also moved ones... it will be the base for
what you're looking for.

Another nice suggestion that will climb the backlog ladder! :P

Thanks,
