When my boss asks me for a list of accomplishments, I'm going to tell him I was on the WinSCP Overwrite Screen Redsign Committee (WOSRC, for short). Thanks for your awesome tool, and thanks even more for happening upon this and doing something about it! Trots over to the update page...

You must upvote this comment if you never press CE, and always restart your entire calculation any time you make an entry mistake.

comment How do you give your user options without overloading them?
Kidding aside, I really like this idea. I mean, obviously I'm not writing a file copying program any time soon. Clearly there's dozens out there. (And for all I know, some guy at WinSCP will read this thread and go oh snap that is kind bad...) But very often, my users request things and it ends up being "Add a button. Add a link. Add this. Add that." Then in the next release "This screen is too cluttered." And I'm kind of at a loss for how to really organize it. The philosophy here is is the same as the others, but the execution is simply stellar and a cut above.

That's not fair - it guilts you into not overwriting that adorable kitty... :-(

@LucM I actually had the exact dialog up from before. I clicked append, and it actually appends all the content.

@Ben No will continue on to the next file. Cancel will abort the operation, including all future files. (Whether or not it checks the actions for all files before acting I don't know.)

There's already one checkbox (one that's actually pretty dangerous, but...). Is adding a second checkbox a good idea? That doesn't get around the fact that this dialog is more of an interview.

@VirtuosiMedia It actually doesn't do anything, so it's not that helpful. It brings up a box that says "No help is available. Would you like to search the WinSCP documentation on the web?"
