Sorry for the late response. It would sure be possible to add such a dialog!
Currently there are two settings for ignoring duplicates: The app can ignore duplicates that happen directly after each other or avoid any duplicate in the whole history. I think such a dialog would probably only be useful for the latter option.
Still, I am wondering if a dialog is the best choice here since it would require some user interaction. Which could get annoying, I'm afraid. So maybe a (toast) message would be better if you are just interested in when a duplicate was detected?
Sure a toast notification could work. About the annoyance should it otherwise be a dialog box, that can be solved by having additional options in the settings under "Ignore Duplicates" such as:
Well, with the existing three possibilties:
This would result in something like this:
Feels a bit like feature creep to me 😉 Of course, the silent/toast/dialog option could be another setting.
Sure, that'd be a lot to take in and ruin the simplistic nature of the app: What I'd propose would be a re-organisation of the feature:
Under the Feature, I'd keep these options
I have tried to design a mockup for it to show what I mean:
I have been enjoying using Binary Eye for about 2 weeks now. I understand of the Ignore Duplicates and History Feature. Currently when those two features are enabled and a duplicate is detected, it's ignored silently. The request I'm making is a build-up on these two, if there could be a toggle to allow the app to show a warning pop-up with or show some visible feedback when a duplicate is detected. I have tried to make a mock-up of the pop-up below: Don't mind the sloppy design ;)
