Hi Philippe,
I'm not sure I understand how this leaves the user in a lurch. Is it
because your only options are to delete your data or cancel out of
start up?
What if instead of [Cancel], we had [Move Data] and that was a link
to the migration instructions?
My concern is that we need to explain to the user that we need to
delete their data in order to start Chandler. Just something to
explicitly connect the dots between "your data is incompatible with
this version of Chandler'
I also don't think we need to give the user 3 options. They either
want to proceed, delete their data and start with a fresh Chandler;
OR they want to follow instructions to dump/reload and cancel out of
starting up Chandler for now.

Your data was created by an incompatible version of Chandler.
In order to proceed, all of your existing data must be deleted. To
preserve your data, <LINK>follow instructions on how to move data
from one version of Chandler to another.
[Cancel] [Delete Data]

I think it leaves the user too much in a lurch. I prefer the 3
options proposed by Dan: at that point in the code, there are few
enough things to do that we can afford to be super detailed and
explicit for each.
Cheers,
