Source (perhaps others too) removal: *not so* dangerous

Post by ocs » Sun Jun 02, 2024 1:48 am

Hi there,

Edit: actually the source deletion is undoable, albeit in a somewhat confusing way; thus, this ER is far less important I thought previously :)

lately I had the bad luck to move my mouse inadvertently a bit, and, in the Source Editor, I've clicked to [-] by mistake instead of [+] when I wanted to add another source just having added a previous one.

Oops. The previously added source went just poof, without a bit of warning, and looks like this change is not undoable :( Although the source was not referenced yet, it was somewhat at the inconvenient side, given all the information entered for the source which I had to dig up again.

I suggest, if possible and unless it brings some problems I do not foresee
- to guard the source removal by an alert, even if not referenced yet;
- to make a source removal undoable.

preferably both, unless too difficult to implement.

The same problem might well apply to other [+][-] GUIs; I haven't tested.

Thanks a lot!
