Confusing save warning

You can very easily loose your work by a careless read of the save warning the way it stands at the moment, and granted it would be all my fault, but it is still bound to happen, especially late at night when all you want to do is finish and go to bed.


The problem. You are working in Full screen Model mode, you click on the CREATE NEW SCENE icon, it warns you to save, it says…Changes to current scene are about to be lost. Do you want to save scene? YES, NO, CANCEL.


Now probably while working you may have switched to Player mode Full screen, if you click on the same icon pic in player it is called CREATE NEW SPACE (ok that’s fine) But…

The save warning that comes up says…. Changes to current scene are about to be lost.

Continue anyway? YES, NO


My point may not be clear. If you are used to reading… do you want to save? and your usual answer would be YES, then you will find that the same answer in Player, a YES will delete your work.


As I said the error would be mine but this is a very illogical way of doing it.

Could Caligari with it’s next Patch change this so that YES always means to save.

I agree that something should be commonized.


They should use the same option box with the same wording for both.:)
