DIfference between removing a column and making it hidden in Content Type

I have dealt with a customer recently where i suggested to hide some fields in content type to decrease loading time(I am not sure this might help him). But he asked me what would be the difference between removing the field from the specific Content Type and making it hidden, and the implications. Any share of knowledge/link is much appreciated.
Thank you :)
First, if I don't use a field, I'll definitely try to remove it. It's not a good habit to have some trash hidden field in Content Type. We often have some difficult to keep a clean structure with unique fields, content types... So when you have the opportunity so simplify this, just do it.
However, if your Customer want to keep the data in the column, hide the field is a solution.
I don't think there is more to say about these 2 options.
Edit : Sorry if it is a little bit confusing. By deleting, I mean remove the field in your list. This'll just remove the local column in the list not the column definition in the site settings.

Documents that appear in more than one category are pasted multiple times when using Copy Selected As Table

I have to fix the problem in the title and after one day of research I realy don't know what else to try, what else to google ;)
The topic is discussed in an IBM TechNote.
But this answer isn't enough for me. I really need a workaround!
My question: Can I 'get between' the User clicking the 'Copy as table' and the actual copying of the table?
I see two ways of solving my problem (I don't know how to implement them):
If I just could show the user a Messagebox 'Use our own export agent' that would be great.
If I could convince Notes to just copy each document only once that would be even greater.
If I should make my question more precise, just ask. I will gladly edit it!
Every answer would be highly appreciated. Out of the box thinking, other approaches, I like to hear your opinion!
Friendly Greetings

Unfortunately there is no way to hook in and alter the results of the Copy Selected as Table method. If it is possible to show an "Export Friendly" view that is not categorized, that is one way to solve the problem.
I'm not sure how useful it will be to you, but many years ago I wrote a sample project for exporting views to Excel, and that should handle categorized views properly. There are surely other options available by now too (though I'm not familiar with them).

Refinement Panel - SharePoint 2010

I am facing problems with Refinement Panel in SharePoint 2010.
Please find below the issue:
Suppose we have Following refinement Custom Values as - Custom1, Custom2, Custom3, Custom4, Custom5. And then suppose Custom1-5 have things coming from Managed Properties.
I have uploaded adequate number of documents into the system. Now when I click on one of the values under Custom1 then filtering is done properly...and it shows Custom2, Custom3 if there are any document. I click on values under Custom2 and I could further drill down and get more specific results. All this is default functionality by SharePoint. I have not changed anything here.
But sometimes SharePoint is behaving strangely. If I click on one of the values under Custom3 (or Custom4, Custom5)...then all other filter options are gone. Only Custom3 and the value I clicked to select are shown. I know that the documents in this particular category have Managed Properties which exists under Custom1 and Custom2, yet those are not seen.
My client is after me saying that this is a bug, can anyone help me regarding the same. Am I doing something wrong is this is BUG/FEATURE by SharePoint. If it is a bug or feature please do share with me some document by Microsoft or others mentioning the same. I Googled a lot but could only find ways to use Managed Property etc with Refinement Panel.
Thanks.

Its simple...just change the Threshold Value from 5 to 1. I did not know and wasted so much time running around. I hope this question may save some time for someone else.

Can I associate custom metadata with an ALAsset?

I'm building an iPhone app that, among other things, allows the user to take and store photographs associated with locations. I am currently using the ALAssetLibrary to allow the photographs to be stored in Photos and be accessible outside the app (on a computer for instance via the built-in mechanisms). There is not a lot of technical content out there for working with the ALAssetLibrary but from what there is I have managed to cobble together a working version of this. I have had to resort to storing a dictionary of photo URLS in my app and manually detecting if the photo still exists when displaying lists of them because there does not seem to be a way to add custom metadata to an ALAsset.
What I would really like to do is add two custom metadata fields to each asset to provide it with a title and a custom id value that I can use to filter on when enumerating the asset library.
As a secondary task, I'd like the user to be able to update the title metadata.
Can it be done? At this point, I really don't think it can because the API really doesn't seem to provide the necessary methods to get/set custom metadata. I'm hoping against all odds that there is some other aspect to the AssetLibrary framework that I have not yet discovered.
At a minimum, if someone can authoritatively say "NO" then at least others might find this breadcrumb on their own trail of hope and change tack more quickly!
And, having 0 reputation I can't tag it with AssetLibrary :( wow, this day is just going downhill. FML
I've been looking over the documentation and I dont think it is possible to tack on additional fields to the ALAsset object, well you can create your own object or extend theirs but that wont help you when your pulling back assets because you'll need to init yours and populate it then.
Look I know this falls short of a really good answer but I had to try.
The ALAsset class documentation describes a property - customMetadata. This is documented to be an NSDictionary of whatever custom tags you want. Currently, however, it is not implemented in the class (I've raised a bug on Apple's developer site to bring the issue up).

Is there a way to have a column in SharePoint which has multiple links?

I currently have a normal SharePoint list with about 15 columns or so. I need one of the columns to have a list of links. I know SharePoint lets you have 1 link and it also lets you have multiple lines of text... So I thought it would be there as an option, but no such luck. Anyone knows a solution for this? I wasn't able to find any info online, which doesn't happen often. I guess I wasn't looking for the right keywords? If anyone can point me into the right direction, it would be great!
Thanks

Maybe a multiplelines text field, and configured it to be Enhaced Rich Text enable. It would allow you to insert your links as in a HTML page (it would be the same as to use a CEWQ)
We have a custom filed CALLed Document Link Field that enabled you to link multiple documents to a list item, maybe this is what yuo are looking for. In any case either you need a custom field, or use a multiple lines of text
