PLEASE!! Please stop annoying warning when aborting raw dev.


Recommended Posts

This is the 3rd or 4th time I am asking for this:

Please stop the annoying warning when aborting raw development when clicking on "X".

It is totally unnecessary that you have to cancel the whole thing at this point in a different way.

Then, you need again to confirm cancellation! WTH.

I really think that the buttons "Develop" and "Cancel" should be removed.
Closing should work via "X" alone. This is standard in every application!

Push button labels should always be verbs in modern apps.

"OK" is not a verb and should not be used.

"Yes" and "No" are not verbs and should not be used either.

 

What "X" are you clicking on?  If you are closing the document, then the correct thing to be asking is whether or not to save the document before closing it.  If it cannot be saved without completing the development (which is a document model deficiency in my opinion), the buttons might be "Develop and Save" and "Close Without Saving" for example.

If you are switching to a different persona the options might be "Develop and Switch", "Switch Without Developing", and "Cancel", if we really need to keep this modal behavior for some reason.

In any standard application (at least for all I've ever used), the "X" only serves to close the dialog/window, not as information to perform follow-up operations. By clicking on "X", the application basically only announces that the user does not want to respond to a question/prompt/warning by pressing a standard button. Definitely, in standard applications, it should not be understood as a command to close the dialog + a command to stop developing a RAW file + a command to ignore warnings about irreversible loss of work in progress.

I was blaiming the the effort to close a raw document.
If you work an any other document except for raw, you can just close the document by "X" and select YES or NO to keep your progress.

But, raw requires cancelling the development on a specific way.

It would be logical to get the warning dialog of the unprocessed raw picture when the  document was closed by "X".

YES would close the document without development.
NO would abort closing.


There is no need to have the separate button  "Cancel".
Or at least: make "x" the same behaviour like "Cancel".
