Small Tweak for Convience

phossler · 03-24-2015, 08:00 PM

1. I'm wondering if there should be a confirmation dialog when deleting a Text File or Files?

2. Same question about Style sheets, but with an additional question "Remove Links Also?" I know when I re-link I can delete the references, but it seems logical (IMVHO) to keep the 2 deletes together

Re 1 -- My finger stuttered and I got carried away. Since the editor is so fast, I deleted a little more than I intended

Re 2 -- I had the 2 original style sheets and my 2 'standard' style sheets loaded while I was cleaning a book. After deleting the 2 original style sheets, debug threw a lot of errors. Easily fixed, but it would be convient to have related operations co-located

When you delete one or more files a checkpoint is auto created, so you can simply click back to undo the change.

As for auto-deleting linked files, IMO that is not generally useful, since one very rarely simply deletes content without intending to replace it with something else.

1. Thanks - I didn't know that

2. Agreed - It's not difficult to manually do, and it IS rare
