Quick save ..

Hi ...

Another thing :)

I find these icons for quick save nice but too dangerous ..
I just dunno how often I accidentally I clicked on them, and my image was overwritten :(

Can't you just make the icon go away?
Or at least ask if overwriting is OK?

Also backup files would be good (just in case)

unless others have the same issue I will keep them. Probably also add a 'save as' Icon also next to it perhaps? These follow the same function as MS Office where it will not as you to save/overwrite if you already have the file on disk

How are you accidently clicking them?

Good morning,

Well .. if you want to open a .bin then the SAVE icon is just 3 pixel next to it

For example I load my .bin ... do some editing and decide it was crap and want to load another image.
If I accidentally hit the SAVE one, my image has been overwritten ... without warning or backup.

As with all GUI design it does not apply to every user ...

I stopped using the icon for load and save and do it via the menu.

But even there lurks danger .. 'save image' overwrites without warning.
:)
