Description Navid Mehregani

Build Identifier: 

This is more of an annoyance than a defect.  When something is removed from form editors (e.g. Stereotypes in a Profile editor), a "yes or no" dialog box pops up confirming the users action.  This can get annoying when user wants to remove multiple elements (especially if list doesn't allow for multi-select). 

I think the dialog confirmation is unnecessary since user doesn't have to save his/her changes.  If something is accidentally removed, user can close the editor and not save his/her changes.

Reproducible: Always

I'm not sure here.

I think a power user find this annoying but a new user might find it comforting.

Perhaps it should be a Tigerstripe Preference checkbox.

"Confirm Stereotype Deletions - X"


Similarly for attribute, enum literal and method deletions, for which the same argument applies (when done via the form) :

"Confirm Attribute Deletions - X"

"Confirm Literal Deletions - X"

"Confirm Method Deletions - X"

By having these preference options, we can also have a "Don't remind me again" option on the confirmation dialog that pops up.  This way we can enable the corresponding preference option automatically when the user selects this and clicks on 'Yes'.

Done. I've added an appropriate section in preferences under general point.
