I know. I know. But to some people (who don't backup, or who omit
or commit other sins), it's a big deal. Consistency is great. Safety
is great, too. Microsoft standards are not the best in the world, as
the example you cited above makes clear. So sometimes we need to
deviate from them, perhaps.
You choose. ^_^ If you want to leave the defaults as they are ...
it's your program, of course. I'm happy to use it, as much as I know
or don't know how.
What is on the menu is labeled "Delete". Does that mean database?
Symbol? Watchlist? How is a new user to know, exactly? Yes, I know
a dialog pops up, and I know users should read it. But I can't
believe "Empty Watchlist" is not on the first level, or "Remove
Symbol From Watchlist". There is consistency, and there is
inconvenience. As I say, you choose.
Best,
Yuki
