Edit: Seneca has a feature request for the following topic: https://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissu ... no=MC-1080
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have an, "are you sure -- click OKAY or CANCEL" window that pops up for several things, but not one for closing the entire application.
I've accidentally closed MC so many times.. Do we have an upcoming feature for this?
We could add the feature in the Preferences right next to this one?

Re: "Are you sure" window for Closing MC
MAtricks, Seneca, if you uncheck the option "Do not show "Save workspace" dialog on Exit" then when you accidentally close MultiCharts application - "Are you sure" window will appear for closing the workspace, where you have the option to cancel closing the application.
Re: "Are you sure" window for Closing MC
That is correct, Henry. But what if I actually WANT to close MC? Then I have to confirm 20 times the "are you sure window", as I usually have 20 workspaces open. Not the very best solution......if you uncheck the option "Do not show "Save workspace" dialog on Exit" then when you accidentally close MultiCharts application - "Are you sure" window will appear for closing the workspace...
Again, the feature requested by MAtricks and by me is desperately needed!

Re: "Are you sure" window for Closing MC
Yes, I agree... +1 for me too. I just voted on the PM site.
Agreed, this feature is standard on many applications... and it should be very straightforward for MC to implement. Looks like a slam dunk to me.

Re: "Are you sure" window for Closing MC
@MC: Is there any chance to implement the "are you sure" window in one of the next releases? As reflected by the replys in this thread, there is a distinct need for such a feature.

Re: "Are you sure" window for Closing MC
I have just been notified that the PM feature request
http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue ... no=MC-1080
has been declined. Please reconsider this decision. This is an absolutely vital issue. There must be a protection for unintended shut down, and I do not want to confirm 10 times the "save the workspace" dialogue on every session end.

Re: "Are you sure" window for Closing MC
I don't understand - it should have been feature of MC a long time ago. I have on occasion mistakenly closed down MC. The proposed workaround is not equivalent. To make it equivalent it should have another option to repeat the same instruction to save or not save all workspaces similar to Windows when copying/moving files from one folder to another and it detects some/all the files are already present at the destination. In MC the check box could be "Do this for all workspaces". If checked it will either save or not save all the worlspaces in one go.I have just been notified that the PM feature request

Re: "Are you sure" window for Closing MC
In the same path of idea, to prevent some workspace killed by mistake by me when typing on the keyboard, I disabled the CTRL F4 key hotkey with AutoHotKey
I do use the CTRL and function a lot and I was often hitting the CTRL F4 by mistake. This hotkey is the one in use to remove a workspace. I did try to allocate a new hotkey sequence, but by default it is not modifiable and will still be there even after a new key combination was done for it.
Now, instead of closing a workspace, the hotkey will play a a double ringtone. The modification is valid only when MC is in use if I recall.

Re: "Are you sure" window for Closing MC
Henry, as there seems to be a lot of support for this feature request http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue ... no=MC-1080, would it be possible to revise the decision to reject it?All feature requests are forwarded to the management of the company and are evaluated in a timely manner.

Re: "Are you sure" window for Closing MC
Please reconsider this. Confirming the save of each workspace is not a solution it's a nightmare. Also if you've recently saved all your workspaces you won't get the prompt at all....
