That response infers that the user knows if there are access clashes or not and the application does not
.
So how does the user know when there are no clashes and so safe for them to hit "OK", and why does the application not know all by itself if there are any clashes or not?
If the application does know (which one would assume is the case) then why can it not automatically implement the action, at the completion of the count, that would otherwise follow the hitting of the "OK" button? Or is there some limitation in the plugins' API or Python that prevents files being rewritten without user sanction (which would be a surprise) even though the user's knowledge regarding whether it is safe to do so or not would appear to me to be non-existent.
It has seemed to me that apparently redundant "OK" buttons appear with a number of plugins e.g. Modify Epub.
