Description Rick Chern 2004-08-18 21:12:57 UTC 
Version:           1.0.0_devel (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

Currently Kst does not warn when closing windows.  However, plots are deleted when windows are closed.  Would it be desireable to prompt before closing windows?

My preference would be not to do this. The user may find this annoying on the first few times, but they will learn not to close windows if they wish to retain the plots. However, the user who wishes to close windows will find the intrusive message box annoying on a permanent basis.

I've talked to the BLAST users about this...

Survey says: "Are you sure...: dialog is important here.
