The only way I know of that you could have done this is by making two
consecutive mistakes:
1) on the right-click context menu for your watchlist, you chose
"delete" instead of "Watchlist -> Remove Selected Symbol"
2) you answered "Yes" to the confirmation dialog, which warns you
that the action cannot be undone
AFAIK, you cannot get this back unless you have a backup.
Note to TJ: Maybe having the context menu item for removing a single
symbol from a Watchlist on the second-level context menu is not so
convenient for all users?
For me, I'd rather see "Remove selected symbol from watchlist" on the
first level of the context menu, even "Remove all symbols". I do
these things *much* more often than deleting a symbol from the entire
database via a Watchlist context menu, yet that is a first-level menu
item.
Yes, you offer plenty of warning with the subsequent dialog box, and
people who can read should not be caught like this. But the default
on the warning is "YES", for crying out loud. On my keyboard, there
are no less than *four* keys that would immediately and irrevocably
delete a symbol from the database if I wasn't very careful.
I'm careful. Not everyone is. Maybe allowing for that is a good
idea? I'd at least have a default answer for permanent deletion of
anything be NO. But then that's me, and it's not my program. ^_^
I have four "Enter" keys on my keyboard. Three of them are as large
or larger than any other keys on the keyboard. It's not hard to
strike one by accident, particularly if one is in a hurry and not
being careful. Default "Yes-No" dialogs should be set with that
scenario in mind, I think -- particularly non-reversible actions,
even when the warning is clearly stated in the dialog box, as your
warning is.
But the default answer (hit "Enter" from any number of places on a
modern keyboard) is to indeed do the thing that is irreversible.
Maybe change that? Require Paul to make three mistakes in a row, or
at least one mistake that overrides a default.
^_^
Best,
Yuki
