Undo or Warning on Draw Track Tool (deletion)
« on: March 29, 2009, 08:44:56 PM »
When using the "Draw Track" tool (pencil icon) it is WAY too easy to "clear all segments" when all that was desired was to "clear last segment."
And the "undo" feature does not retrieve the deleted segments. 

So how about (1) adding a warning popup - "Dumbass - you didn't really want to delete all those last 43,241 track points that you just placed so carefully by hand, did you?"

Or (2) allow undo to retrieve the erroneously deleted points.

Or both.

Good points, yep.  Undo should kick it back.  Will make a note of it.

BTW, try the new shortcut for removing the last drawn point.  Just hit the 'e' key and you won't need to go into the menu anymore.

That sounds useful but, alas, does not seem to be working in my 3.73 beta version.

Update to 3.74.   ;D

Very useful because you can hold it down to delete multiple.  Much faster...

Yup. Thanks for reading my mind and adding a feature which solves my concern just before I asked for it ;)
