Details

An orphaned client is an object that is no longer used by any tab. You can use the _setClientDeletion method to define the behavior that occurs when a tab with clients are removed.

'VERBOSE' is the default behavior, which deletes clients with no corresponding tab or group and also issues the following warning message:

WARNING: Orphaned clients -- clients with no corresponding tab or group -- were deleted.

'QUIET' acts similarly to 'VERBOSE' except that no warning message is issued.

'NONE' tells the tab that it should not delete any orphaned clients because the clients will be re-adopted soon. For example, if you want to switch back and forth between two tab lists at run-time and do not want the overhead of recreating the clients, then 'NONE' should be used.
