How to reinstate book delete warning

alandr · 12-24-2009, 03:42 AM

Hi
My first post here!

When I deleted a book, it warned me it was about to delete, and I stupidly ticked the box to say don't warn me again. Now I wish I hadn't! Is there any way to reinstate the warning? I checked Preferences and cannot see it in there.

Thanks in advance.

It is in the gui.py file. Standard

Cautions apply.
Preferences: Advanced should get you close to figure it out

from there

Many thanks.

Slight problem. I changed the entry OK and I am certain I changed it correctly (see below), but it still doesn't prompt me when deleting a book. Any further ideas please?

# confirm delete
# Confirm before deleting
confirm_delete = True

Did you restart program/computer?

Yes I restarted program and then rebooted. I have now deleted the app, removed the Application Data/calibre folder and reinstalled and it works fine. Funnily enough the confirm_delete setting now shows as False, but it does now warn me. So I think that is not the correct setting to control lthe warning.

Delete the file dynamic.pickle (that controls this setting, not the gui.py file)
