Disabling "are you sure" message?

SockMan! · Post by **SockMan!** » 2005 Sep 12, 19:59

Is there a way to disable the questionbox when many files are executed/opened simultaneously?

Call me nitpicky, but it's annoying when a box asks me if I'm sure I want to open many files at once (such as when I want to play a que a lot of MP3s into my media player).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

there's no way but this box is there for your safety and only appears if you have more than 10 files selected, and it can be dismissed by simply pressing <enter>. I could have a checkbox "don't ask me again" there but I'm sure one day you'd regret it

if you don't want any questions asked you can right-click and pick "open" from the context menu

Thanks for the quick reply, though it's not exactly what I wanted to hear. Not to sound rude; I just don't like being barred for the sake of my 'safety'.

I guess I'll just have to work with it; it's too much trouble to try hacking a small annoyance like that.

Im using xplorer² Lite for some time and I find it really great, but I must say, that the mentioned popup box gets also on my nerves (every time I add some files to winamp I have to make an extra click).

I think there should be a possibility to turn it off (at least using the config file). You say it's for our own safety, but on the other hand it's enough to press enter to go on. In my opinion the effect is that after a couple of days almost every person will automatically, without thinking, press enter whenever he encounters this pop-up box. So the aim to improve security in this case will be lost.

I am not a mediafile player, so did not appreciate the case in question, until it has come up again. Certainly for editing/creating apps such as winOffice products, this warning is appropriate (it has saved me grief on more than one occasion).

nikos, it sounds appropriate to reconsider your decision to not add that "Disable this warning" option because of this apparently fairly common usage. (but, I won't be electing it, myself)
