Confirmation box for deleting ilogic Form

Confirmation box for deleting ilogic Form

I would really like to see a confirmation box for deleting an iLogic Form. I get a little sloppy sometimes and when you want to edit an iLogic form, you have to right click on the form and click "Edit" from the list of options. The "Delete" option is right below "Edit". So as you can imagine, I went to edit a form and accidentally deleted it instead. That was a pretty extensive form, and I had a lot of time in it. Undo would not bring it back. I could have closed my file without saving, but then I would have lost all my changes up that point. I did't want to do that either.

This just happened to me, but with a global form, so even closing the document without saving wouldn't work. There was lots of time spent making the form so this could have been really bad. Luckily I had a backup from an earlier version of the form so I am just going to modify that one. PITA though.

Everything else seems to have an 'are you sure' box, so I don't see why this doesn't. They must have just forgotten to put it in I guess...

By the way, in your case I would have done 'save as', so that you have two files: your original file with the form still in it, and the newly saved file with the recent drawing changes.

You could then copy the form to the new drawing and delete the old drawing file.

FUTURE CONSIDERATION is not acceptable.  FIX THIS!

 

This is a major portion of the UI, there's no way this should not have a confirmation, or undo, or an automatic backup.
