This is one of those non trivial issues with which it is difficult to have everyone satisfied. I say it is 'non trivial' because it would perhaps be asking too much from TB to track any changes (perhaps many) made to a view mode to see if you have reverted to the 'original state'. Now, if you make changes and TB saves them without warning the user, we would all complain. I think that is what happened in the past and that is why the warning was added. So what could be the best solution? Perhaps by default not try to save any changes, and therefore have no warnings, and just include an 'Update View mode' option/menu entry somewhere and leave it up to the user remembering to save the changes he/she has made? I don't know what the answer is because, as with many other issues, it may depend on how each of us uses view modes. I, for example, have some 8 view modes defined. But once I assign one of them to a folder I hardly ever change it. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
