Are you sure you can permanently remove a group with Shift + Left Click? I'm really not sure this can be done this way.

Blender maintains this information in memory, I do not know if it can be removed with Shift + Left Click.

Is there any reference in Wiki about using Shift + Left Click to remove groups permanently?

no basicly shift and left click is permanent delete for texture and just try to remove group...because there is no way to permanent delete the groups already created .. .. this is a bug.!...

This x icon is misleading, it looks like an ID unlink button but it's a actually an operator. (Hovering over the button and spawning a tooltip actually tells you this, while hovering over an ID button will tell you that you can unlink completely with shift).

The only way to unlink a group is basically through the outliner.

The problem here is that we don't have a list of groups per object so we can't really use an ID template. Detecting a shift key can only be done by setting a callback in C so I'm not sure this can be fixed in python.

Might work by writing a new operator that checks for shift on windowmanager when called and decides accordingly, but that is a somewhat hacky way of doing it. @ideasman42, any opinions here?

This is currently working as intended, but agree having a way to remove group could be good.

The way groups work now:

They are kept as long as objects use them.
They can be unlinked from the outliner (RMB Unlink)

the object buttons are only meant to handle group operations on that object, when it comes to adding/removing.

perhaps a drop-down could be added next to the - [x], with a menu for extra operations (Select All, Unlink All)
