Hi,
A suggestion to HW, the need for which came out of something
slightly foolish I did.
Background:-
I was in KeyList, freeing database space on a sizeable file.
Now, I knew the battery was a bit discharged, but thought I could
get away with it.
Anyway, got to a bit over 80% of freeing done when the "battery
is low" became a bit more frequent. So I carried my machine over
to where I charge it, put it gently down, and accidentally
flicked the "previous" thumb key.
That's the one which caused the BN to say "exit" and stop the
database opperation.
Initially the BN refused to find any files at all on the SD card
- which was where I had this Keylist database.
After taking out the card, BN off/on, re-inserting the card the
files came back but freeing database space on the same file
failed, (Can't remember the message).
Left it charging all night and returned to it next day.
Got rid of cookies, temp files and history in KeyWeb, did 4-5-6
reset, tried freeing database again and worked fortunately.
So, could an option be implemented to allow the thumb key exit to
be temporarily disabled.
Or, could significant opporations have a check added, (perhaps as
an option), so that if you did exit the BN would ask "sure?" so
you could cancel your exit.
(This would be much like the check on delete block.
Also, it could be something optionally set so if you didn't want
the "sure?" question you could disable it so the BN would act as
it does now).
Regards,
Steve.
