No. As I confirmed earlier the special build will be required. If there are critical functions in 1.61 then I will do. Otherwise continue to use special 1.60.

This is already planned. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=973

I was thinking it also would have the "warning" before closing/resetting -- but alas it does not. The reset button is very dangerous.

Also what are the odds of allowing a different hotkey to be set for start and stop? This avoids an accidental double press.

Not aware of the update -- grabbed it now.

I am fully aware of what copyrights are and mean :-) and I see you advanced to 2010 in the 1.61 release.

Release 1.61 has already.

Copyright is a copy right, not an use right. :)

Tried the version with confirmation. Worked great! It might be best to make the default choice no, but this at least stops an accidental deletion.

What if Undo instead of confirmation box?

The reset/close warnings are a great addition. Thank you! If you keep this feature for release, may I suggest having the "NO" button as the default chosen instead of the "YES" button. Thanks again.

Here is the build with confirmation boxes for Reset and Close. Test its usability before I will include in the main release.

Actually when I hit reset it DOES clear all data from the view results window. This is not what I would prefer. If I have failed to save it and hit reset by accident I would lose important data.

I understand one solution may be to always use excel integration to avoid the issue of losing the results window. But that means I need to have yet another program open.

I don't have a hotkey set, I am worried about clicking on the reset button itself by accident or even simply closing the window -- a confirmation dialog "did you mean to close this program" would be a good addition -- since if I mean to close it I use "more >> exit" instead.

While I use a hot key, I may need at times to use the snap with a mouse click and if I accidentally click on reset rather than snap I just might swear.
