Thread: Something that would help ID just a little A window cancel confirmation

Since Stat Migrations take 10 minutes, I like to do other things while Migrating, as I'm sure many of you do. This has only happened to me a couple times, but maybe more for others.

I would be crafting, chatting or whatever, and accidentally hit ESC or something dumb like that. Bam, ID window is closed. Customer is irritated, and me as well.

It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have a "Are you sure you want to cancel?" window pop up for those rare moments of stupidity, or am I the only stupid one here?

We have been asking for this for a long time now, both on the ID end and on the customer end. In fact, Kwee recently posted that the devs are looking into the problem.

Yep TH recently posted he was pursuing the possibility of a cancel window. Cross your fingers

I had posted my approval in Kwee's thread quoting TH. Ive quoted what I said therebut I am going to add some further thoughts as well.


"I also agree there should be a secondary ID confimation window that pops up after the ID hits accept.Maybe itshould also list all that was done(in a singe sentence or word even) and what the customer is paying if anything as well, because for the IDs that earn income this way, its easy for them to be cheated if they weren't paying attention to make sure the customer pays for the Stat changes and/or image design. All the payment should be discussed prior to the actual session, but its easy for a customer to say they will pay, and then not, one never knows. However, on that note, do the rest of you feel that the customer should also see this second confirmation window, and all that was done?"


A secondary confirmation window after the ID hits commit could prevent premature window closing. Keeping things running smoothly. Perhaps the sequence could be this, at the end of the 10 min timer:


1. The Image Desinger hits commit, causing the confirmation window to pop up, listing all that was done and how much is being paid.


2. At this point the customer can also click accept, then the customer will see the secondary window, listing all that was done and payment, and once the customer sees this, both ID and customer can click the final accept.


And just like trade windows, the system would wait until both parties have agreed and clicked accept before the changes would take effect. If Image Designerclicks 'no' or 'decline'on the confirmation window, it dissapears and the ID window simply remains on the screen. And this could apply to all changes involved in Image Design, not just stat migrations. Only difference would be the length of the timer depending on what is done. It should do this wheathersome key stroke sequencecloses out the window, or when the ID hits commit.


I know this would mean Image Design would take a little longer, such as if you have a tent full of customers with only a few IDs. But its better then having to start over when there was only like less then a minute to go.
