Turn off "confirm on overwrite"?

Post by dk »

Is there a way to turn this off (like there exists turning off "confirm on delete")?

In the INI

:arrow: dk

:) Hello !

• Use the INI entries below, to add by hand :
[Start]
ShowSaveDlg= Flag
¤ 0: The dialogue'll remain disabled for the current session only.
¤ 129: The dialogue'll be displayed in all cases.
¤ 130: The dialogue'll never be displayed, even in the next sessions. These flags define the behaviour of the programme when one ticks the box :
“Never display this dialogue again” when a file is modified and closed. Since 1.90 ß-4.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Start]
SaveAdvDlg=1
Allows a fine-tuning of the previous entry functions above by saving the state of the advice dialogue.
Using it, you may avoid the unwanted “Overwrite” dialogue when saving a changed file only.
• More details are available online HERE ;)

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

I have played with the ShowSaveDlg=130 and SaveAdvDlg=1 and I cannot seem to get this dialog to go away when I am resizing files in place.

[quote="XnTriq (how to avoid the " do you want to overwrite" window)"]Thanks to user Brother Gabriel-Marie, I've been able to isolate and identify the proper settings:

Code: Select all

[Start]
SaveAdvDlg=1
ShowAgain=268171860
ShowSaveDlg=129
