I recall in some older version, if you unchecked the tables during refresh, it removed them from the project. That's no longer the case, which is good news. Thanks.
You are right. If you do a catalog refresh and uncheck entities, they are considered removed from the catalog. The entity model will remain but without mapping information for those unchecked entities. Sorry, we mis-understand the question.
In short: you can do a partial refresh but the unchecked entities are considered removed, so It's not like a partial refresh really. IMHO this is like for the sake of the model integrity. Even if 'partial refresh' would be possible and you do minor changes in your DB and you don't remember to check those tables in a refresh, this could break your code.
Doing a full refresh should not be a pain anyway. Btw, we are looking into you TypeConverter oddity at the other thread.
