Hi All,
Since there's some discussion about infobar behaviour, I thought I'd
mention
a couple things I've noticed using it in my day-to-day workflow.
When you delete a file from disk, and then assuming the infobar
kicked in
(see below), it pops up the infobar as expected. The problem is that
there's
no quick way to say "Ya, ya, I deleted that on purpose, just close the
file". IMO, there should be a "Close" button on the infobar that
allows you
to bypass the redundant dialog that pops up when trying to close a
document
that you've been notified about, for example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
File "foo.txt" was not found on disk [Resave][Dismiss][Close]
<Some different message here>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Clicking the proposed [Close] button would have the same effect as what
currently requires two steps; clicking the tab close button or Close
menu
item and then clicking the "Don't Save" button in the dialog that
pops up.
Does that sound reasonable?
Yes, would just ask for some space between dismiss and close for those
with bad aim (like me :)
BTW which is default (if any)?
The other thing I wondered is, should we not do a "disk check" on a
file
that hasn't been switched to when it's being closed? I mean we do
the check
and show the infobar on tab-switch (due to lacking proper/usable
inotify
support), but if the user doesn't actually switch to the tab, then
we just
close the file without any warning that the buffer in that document
has no
disk file anymore and closing it will lose those contents forever.
Sounds like a sensible safe default behaviour, but with a various pref
to turn it off for those whose workflow makes it *really* annoying.
And/or a way to dismiss many together for bulk operations like "Close
All" and "Close Others" (and obviously when exiting). Sometimes you
see those dialogs like:
+--------------------------------------------+
|----- Unsaved Changes! -----------------X-|
+--------------------------------------------+
| The following files are not saved: |
| ========================================== |
| [ ] Resignation_Letter.txt |
| [ ] Wedding_Vows_WIP.md |
| [ ] Baby_Pictures.xpm |
| [ ] ... |
| ========================================== |
| Do you want to save them? |
| ------------------------------------------ |
| [ No, Just Exit] [ Yes Please ] [ Cancel ] |
+--------------------------------------------+
We could do something like that.
Nice idea. Perhaps add a check box "[x] Remember this decision", and
store that in a pref.
Best regards
