> I've been building some templates lately, but I'm running into some annoying
> policy problems. I would like to build templates that include a processor
> group and sample processors hooked up to its input and output ports. So the
> template begins with getting data from a directory, but the user can easily
> replace the GetFile processor with something else.
> The problem is when I try to delete processors brought in by the template. I
> think this is a fairly common case: templates can be added easily and should
> be deleted easily (e.g., oops, wrong template!). However, when I try to
> highlight the template processors and delete, I get an error that says the
> group is not empty. I go inside the group, select all. and delete, but that
> fails because there are incoming connections. So I finally have to leave the
> group and delete the non-group processors and connections, then enter the
> group, delete everything, leave the group, and delete the empty group.
> This doesn't fit with my idea of easily bringing in tasks and easily removing
> them. Am I doing something wrong?
> Can the processor group be deleted as a single operation? I think that would
> fix everything.
