A small request
Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2025 11:19 am
I was comparing two directories with about 200 files.
Having confirmed that the two were equal, I selected the files of one of the two for deletion.
Alas, it was my daughter computer, not mine. I'm used to have in the lower right corner the keys "ins" and "del" in that order. My daugter's computer instead has "ins", "del", "enter".
I pressed the key in the corner to "delete"... but it was "enter".
Guess what happened? About 200 instances of EDP opened at once!
The computer almost completely unresponsive until all the instances completed the compare, then all those windows to close, with also the dialog "files are equal" to close before...
May I suggest that if some fool requests comparing more of, say, ten files at once to have a dialog saying: "are you sure?"
Ok, probably not many are stupid like me, but I've seen something like that in some programs and it should be very easy to implement.
