XNote Stopwatch

Hi! I was doing some timing yesterday and accidentally clicked reset instead of snap. The long and short of it is I've lost vital data

Is there anyway to retrieve this?
Could the reset button have a are you sure dialogue warning or be repositioned well away from the snap button?
Can the system be set to autosave data on each click of snap?

No. You might use Save/Load.

Use Hotkeys. By not assigning hotkey for Reset you will prevent accident reset.

Currently no. Use Excel integration. Excel allows autosave/crash recovering. By the way, Reset doesn't clear results too.

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.

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

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.

What if Undo instead of confirmation box?

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.

don't forget to update the copyright date when/if you release

I show 2009 copyright still -- any reason I can't swap this in for my "real" copy at this point since I highly prefer it?

Release 1.61 has already.

Copyright is a copy right, not an use right.

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.
