Worse-than-useless popup question #44

Open tylerl opened 8 years ago

tylerl commented 8 years ago

On first run, CodeComplice prompted me with the following message in a modal dialog:

An existing Python rule definition exists, and codecomplice wants to overwrite it with its own version. Is that okay?

How the ---- am I supposed to know how answer this question? What rule is it replacing? What is it to be replaced with? What is a rule? I can't actually view the file that it intends to modify because the modal dialog is preventing me from using my text editor. I have to decide right now with absolutely no context, no clear way to undo my decision, and in fact no way to even go in after-the-fact and figure out what I lost.

This is not helpful.

I made the mistake of choosing "yes". I think you can undo this by looking at the packages folder (Preferences > Browse Packages) and deleting the file "{lang}/Completion Rules.tmPreferences" where "{lang}" is the language the plug-in prompted to overwrite.
