Get calibre to ask for confirmation before delete book?

lunixer · 09-17-2010, 07:10 PM

Is it possible to have calibre ask for confirmation before it deletes a book? I lost a book from my library today and I can't figure out which one. I was trying to delete something off my desktop and the calibre window had priority. Oops.

Go to Preferences|Behavior.

There's a hard to see button just above the two text windows at the bottom called "Reset all disabled confirmation dialogs" -- scanning the dialog, it looks like a label for those windows, but it's not.

Pushing that should do it -- you may need to disable some other dialogs later, though, depending on your personal preferences.

Thank you!
