Recover deleted PI Vision displays from a Recycle Bin

Deleting a folder of PI VISION displays is too easy. An admin can delete a folder with all it's contents (displays) with only 2 clicks... (delete > Acknowledge deletion). It would be really helpful if PI Vision could have a "recycle bin" functionality such that if someone accidentally deletes a display (or a folder of displays) it would be easy to recover such displays\folders from a recycle bin instead of having to restore all PI VISION database from a backup...

    Please make it possible to recover displays! I accidentally deleted one I just finished when cleaning up old displays!

    This shouldn't even be hard to implement. The deletion of a display is done by a StoredProc, "CleanDeletedBrowseElements". Just modifiy the StoredProc to not 'Delete from table' , but instead to Change the ParentID of the 'DeleteFlag' marked displays to set the ParentID value to that of a folder called 'Deleted Displays'.
    Or, even better, just leave all displays EXACTLY as they are when deleted, and simply just leave them Marked as deleted, and have a new function in PIVision to Show Deleted displays, so that people can undelete them.

    Enhancement User stories:
    As a PIVision user, I want the Delete Display display button MOVED away from the Save and Cancel buttons so that I can not accidentally delete the PIVision display.
    As a PIVision user, I want be able to recover a deleted display so that I can use it again and not have to redesign it from scratch.
    As a PIVision user, I want to be able to have deleted displays hidden by default from my All Displays view so that they do not clutter up my Pivision homepage.
    As a PIVision user, I want to be able to 'do something' to see all Deleted Displays so that I can chose to undelete one or more of them

    with the new version of pivision allowing for export of pivision displays to .PDIX files, it should be relatively small code change to create a dumpster folder and push deleted displays as pdix to there, but if the old versions of displays could be stored in a version table for recovery that would be best. it can be a major pain recovering displays that have been deleted. if a folder is deleted, that would be really bad. Restoring displays by using the display mover to move from a separate pivision recovery server means thet restored displays get new display IDs, and all the displays that referenced the old display number have to be found and manually edited. a recover from recycle bin option would help a lot. Also, please disable the delete button if a display is set to read only!

    Just had to bend over backwards because someone accidentally deleted a critical display (Delete Display is right next to the Save button). Would be great to have a recycling bin.
