Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
(On windows) If I try to save over a file "t.exg" by double-clicking on the existing file "t.exg", I get prompted for confirmation on whether to overwrite.
If I type "t" in the file browser and press enter, it still appends ".exg" to that path and overwrites "t.exg", but it doesn't confirm first.
I don't know what happens on Mac/Linux in this case.
Probably the same at least on Mac. I think the ideal solution would be to somehow or other tell the save dialog that it needs to append .exg for us, and then not do it manually. Not sure if that works though.
I have filed an issue with zenity proposing the feature we'd need in order to implement an ideal fix on Linux: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/zenity/-/issues/96
Still an issue on Linux.
Well, fixing this properly on Linux requires going so deep as modifying Zenity, and when I posted an issue about it last year, I still haven't heard back. I think it's fair to leave it alone?
I think this is a big enough issue that it shouldn't just be thrown aside. There are probably ways to do it without modifying zenity, like adding a custom confirmation after the save dialog closes.
