Pathfinder: Job and Div delete need confirmation before deletion

In pathfinder you can delete a division and even a whole job (including all divisions) with a single right mouse click + delete.

This gets executed immediately. No questions asked.

There should be an additional confirmation that asks you that this is what you really want to do.

  • I would like to follow up on what Paul was saying....

    Pathfinder is indeed using the windows "delete confirmation dialog" setting.

    However when you delete a folder through windows explorer it is not deleted from the file system, but simply moved to the recycle bin.

    When you delete a job or division through pathfinder it is completely deleted from the file system.

    And even with the "delete confirmation dialog" set to off, windows explorer will still ask you for confirmation when you do a [SHIFT][DELETE] to permanently delete a folder.  (as pathfinder should!)
