Feature for Views to list for the user where they are being used

Thats definitive kind of sensefull.

I'm wondering whether this should be provided by panels or views, because panels know which stuff is used.

That is a must to have requirement.
I have many views in one site I don't remember at all where they are used, but I know half of them are obsolete.
I would have to carrefully look at each Views CCK field and menu entry to check what is in used and deduct what is obsolete or redundant.

The reason for such an elementary feature being not available might be some difficulty to scan the views references in the database?

In the meantime, a "disable" option could help to put on hold guessed obsolete view before deletion

I don't think there's really any way to do this, particularly if you're using Panels or CCK or something. External modules use Views in ways that Views cannot detect.

This is what I guessed.

Would it be difficult to have a "disable" option that would allow to put aside the views that don't seem to be used?
This way, one can place on hold these views for a given observation time instead of deleting them and having to redo everything if the view proved later to be used?

Thanks

Adding a disable feature to views in the database is something I would like to do. It will probably happen during hte conversion of Views to getting rid of its own custom code for exports and using CTools export.inc instead.

Great!
