Ctrl-S / Confirm

Post by meteorquake »

How does one set Ctrl-S to confirm saving, as Irfanview does?
The serious problem here is if you bounce between IV and XNMP it's very easy to do Ctrl-S expecting a popup and then find it saves over your original...
Many thanks,
David

irfanview has "Save as" dialog on CTRL+S, not "confirm" dialog

you can:
- change save shortcuts in xnview to mimic irfanview in Settings>Interface>Shortcuts tab OR
- reset "confirm overwrite" dialog prompt in Settings>General>General tab - "Reset all confirm prompts"

Thanks.
Resetting the confirmations doesn't do it, it still saves without dialog.
Save isn't on the Shortcuts but I tried changing Export to Ctrl-S but that doesn't do it either.
So I'm still not finding it resolved :)

There is isn't there :)
Thanks very much, that seems to have got the right result!
Just going through assigning keys. I think on assigning keys that already exist it would be good if it offered to remove the conflicting one, it's quite complicating having to continually abort and remove the conflict first :)
