Whenever I change some game and then try to leave it (say, press
Ctrl-Down to go to the next one) I get dialog box:
Scid: New Game
This game has been altered.
Do you really want to continue and
discard the changes made to it?
[Yes] [No]
I hate this dialog.
First, in spite of I saw it hundred of times, I
still find myself unsure which button to click. One must carefully
read the text to understand what will happen. It would be *far*
better if it was slightly edited, for example so:
Scid: New Game
This game has been altered.
Do you really want to continue and
discard the changes made to it?
[Discard changes and go] [Return to the game]
But still, even in such version this dialog does not offer
an option which is almost aways what I want. This option is to
save the game and go where I wanted:
Scid: New Game
This game has been altered.
Do you want to save it before continuing, discard
the changes, or return to the game to reexamine it?
[Save & Go] [Discard & Go] [Return]
Finally ... having seen this dialog hundred times, I do not
remember even one case when I wanted anything else than to save
the game and then go where I wanted. So it would be nice if
I could fix such behaviour. This could be some preference
setting, say Options/Games/Always Auto-Save, which - when
enabled - would always save the currently edited game
instead of asking this question.
Note that by 'saving' I mean 'the right thing' - replacing the
game in case it was already present in the database, adding new
game if it was not yet saved.
