"Delete all" when restoring a backup / "Replace from backup" #98

Open cxw42 opened 6 years ago

cxw42 commented 6 years ago

Currently, "Load contents of a backup" appends rather than overwriting. This is good for data safety. However, I switch between development and production versions periodically, and have to manually delete the old entries when I do so. I would like an option to either delete all, or to replace the existing saved tabs with the contents of a backup instead of appending the backup to what is saved.

Does anyone have a use case for "Delete all" other than restoring a backup? If not, I would prefer restore-with-replacement, since it is less likely to be triggered by accident (you can always hit Cancel in the "Open" dialog box).

I think one of the common ways is to have a dialog that asks whether to append or replace (the backup file selected)
