... or it might be just a question, if it already exists (but I haven't found it).

Can we get a confirmation when aborting a title copy/move operation?

I would consider it a kindness to have the Abort button on the move dialog prompt me -- the old school "Are you sure?" type would be great -- either as a standard or optional behavior.

It's aggravating to be (as happened today) 13,288 titles through a 14,124 title move and accidentally abort. I've got a way to deal with it (start over, then use Find Duplicates and automatically remove all formats from one copy, then delete all titles with no formats), but it's still going to take a couple hours to get through.

(start move, background the app, "I wonder how far along we are?", bring to front and check, move mouse over another app and scroll, hit space or escape, and AAAUGH! focus is on calibre still! Aborted, no warning, no recourse, START OVER!)
