Allow us to set Properties, by right clicking, on a folder and Files in the Quick Bar area. A screen will pop up with the option with "Always confirm changes" and a person can check the check box. So "Moving the folder/file(item)" and "Renaming a folder", also "Deleting" will ask for a confirmation, if a person does so.

I accidentally moved a folder in one of the others, and could not find it for a long time in my quick bar, I have lots of folders and sub folder to organize my stuff.

2. The same idea, to set properties, with the saved Personal Locations window/screen of individual locations/way points. This allow us to not accidentally delete a location/saved point in space, even when general/regular confirmation is turned off. I turned off the general confirmation in the Locations window/screen, but need to make sure I do not accidentally delete a saved location that is very important to me, so I am asking for the "Properties" to be set for each location in this screen.

You know, normally I'd just pass by and let the roasting go unchecked... But I have to pull Devil's Advocate here, because it actually isn't a horrible or gamebreaking idea. It could be articulated better, yes, but for once its an idea he's had that WON'T break any particular portion of gameplay and would make organizing slightly better. With some refinement of course.

The gods are out there. They watch us. They guide, they manipulate. We rally behind the ones we adore, and rain fire against those who rally behind the ones we hate. The question now is, to whom does your allegiance fall behind, dear Empyreans?

You really really do not understand what a massive pain this would be to implement.

Just for a start you've just massively increased the amount of data saved locations take up, and that's not small already, not to mention the performance hit that would cause, and on top of that there's additional UI complexity.

No, this isn't needed. You want to avoid deleting your important locations or whatever then be more careful with your UI clicks and don't disable the already existing default warnings.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not conductive to the community spirit that CCP promotes. As such, this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.


Post and those quoting removed for the above reason.
