Save prompt in AVS

😠 Just about now i had made an Beautifull preset and then what happens?I accidently click "new" instead of "save" and all was gone 😢 🙁 I had'ent saved.
😔
there should some prompt before making a new preset like"Do you wish to save the changes?"

Now i have to make that all over again😔
[edit]if this has been asked before then please dont bitch cause i was in really a bad mood that time and i did'nt search[/edit]

so, you can bitch for no reason whereas we can't tell you to take a quick glance at the wishlist and shut your damn mouth...i see. 🙄

That happened to me a couple of times. The closest solution I found is to use a resource hacker to move the remove button all the way to the right. I then made a new menu "New Preset" and put "New" under it. This way, it is very hard to slip.

I agree with Ishan 100%. I had an awesome preset once, I believe it was called "Incantations in Red" or something. Then that happened and I was so mad at myself.... it would really nice to have that save prompt.

One more annoying thing:
Whenever you select main and then accidently click the '-' button, eveything just vanishes. Very annoying, so I have moved my - button away.

Or if avs suddenly crashes everything is lost. Best thing would be a periodic saving to a temporary file.

Btw, i experienced that if winamp is running, my debuggers crash on errors. Now THIS is weird!!!

Or trying to delete, say, the seven last objects in the list, and accidentally clicking one more time when it jumps to main >:- (

a horrible thing happened to me recently. working on my debut pack, i went into a avs-ing spree churning out a preset every ten minutes. then suddenly...

a probelem in the program, winamp, has occured. please tell microsoft about this problem.

... and KA-POW!!! seventeen presets were instantly lost!

and your reading this saying to yourself "well, if he saved them surely..."

this experiance almost put me off doing avs anymore. (until i downloaded UnConeD's whacko V, which forced me to get back to work. thanks mate!)

okay, harsh, i have come to the conclusion that you are under the influence of a copious amout of recreational chemicals.

there is NO WAY that avs can lose 17 presets by crashing. if you saved one and moved on then it's on the hard disk and it's staying there until you fuck with it. if you did lose all of those presets then you should plan on getting a new hdd cos it's deteriorating, and badly.

The only way you could lose 17 presets(and have it be AVS's fault) would be if you were talking about losing 1 preset at a time, seventeen different times.

Or, incompetence makes people save over the SAME FILE again and again, and they don't realise.

There are some bad jokes, that a programmer has to code his apps in a way that the most foolish imaginable user could get along with it.

But these are only jokes, not guidelines 😛

shit happens

I also get pissed when I loose presets, but most times it's my fault for going too fast and not payin attention. BUT what got me pissed more is today I download thing from hotlist and when I couldn't get it to work I uninstalled it and it took all my pictures with it😠 . Just damned LUCKY I had just copied my whole avs folder to cd 3 hours earlier 😛

Hotlist does nothing to bitmaps except to those within the Hotlist/Pictures Folder. And those may be uninstalled too.
But the uninstaller wont take any of your avs pictures.

I scripted it with NSIS, so maybe this is a NSIS bug, but not my fault then.

Anyway, i'd like you to test this once again. Any Bug report may help in further developement.

Thank you in advance and sorry for your trouble.

Am a newbie tryin to self-teach puter with very little help and no education to begin with, so I might not do things as they supposed to be done. Saying that, I got your thing from here in forums in thread bout some avs trny.Folder had lots of stuff in it, but actual visual wasn't there I think. So I uninstalled and then had NO... absolutely No pic in my avs folder. Blame don't know where it goes nor do I want to put it where it don't belong ... just I got pissed
