Suggestion: Caution message if user quits during a sorting or searching process

Post by ChrisGreaves »

Another weak suggestion, perhaps for the INI options file?

Here I am sorting a large set of audio files by "Length"; I had inadvertently clicked the column "Length" twice, so it is taking twice as long as normal to finish the sort and fill the screen with results.
I Alt+Tab back to Everything and (brain-fart) click on the Quit button, top-right corner.
Everything obediently does what I ask.

It might be nice to have an option that forces a pop-up window "Are you sure" if Quit is requested while a background process (sort, search, force rebuild) is ongoing?

Just wondering. My problem was caused by my effort at self-multi-processing, perhaps a bad practice at my age ...
Cheers, Chris

I will consider a "Are you sure you want to close" warning message.

Thank you for the suggestion.
