Yup. I had this radical notion that I'd get my conductor to maintain the collection and share it with everybody. But she's got an oooold Mac and I decided discretion was the better part of valor.

Are you sure you > want to delete them? Great. Lets add that dialog, then we'll all be happy.

Sounds great, post-Preview. For now, two dialogs. Assuming we're on the same page now, I think I've got enough to move forward. Thanks!
