What you're thinking about is a sort of intelligent dialog ? In my opinion, dialog should *not* pop-up and take options like this: * A default option changed by user has changed -> take user's one * All default options unchanged by user -> take new defaults And we should let user the choice of the behavior. Also give an automated feedback to default options is not a bad idea. > Cheers, -- Florent Peterschmitt | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign flor...@peterschmitt.fr | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail +33 (0)6 64 33 97 92 | X - No proprietary attachments http://florent.peterschmitt.fr | / \ - Respect for open standards
