A suggestion from Vangelis Karafillidis

[Liviu Lalescu]

From the newly added TODO item:

531---------------------------------------------------------
From Vangelis Karafillidis:

What I would like FET to have is a warning when re-generating single timetables. I think that for multiple timetables FET asks if the user wants the solved timetables to be overwritten. I think that this should happen with single timetables, and I would like in addition to the warning the user to have the option to save the generated timetable(s) (let's say in a .zip file) as a backup, for example I generate a single timetable the file name is MusicSchool.fet. When I work with this file (without changing the name) and regenerate, the previous results are lost, so it would be useful if FET asked if I want the results to be lost and keep the same filename, or if I want to keep the results changing the filename, or if I want to keep the filename and keep a backup (.zip) file of the respective fet-results subfolder.

Liviu Lalescu:
The user would be annoyed to get a warning each time. Also, maybe too much disk usage if it changes the name each time.

Vangelis Karafillidis:
You could add an option in the settings "allow detailed warnings (highly recommended for new users)".

I must also say that it is annoying if it ask each time. I like to have it without asking. So maybe do it optionally.

In fact with the multi core generating it is also annoying. Why must a user delete the old files manually, FET might ask if it can overwrite the files or maybe even better delete the whole folder (since you might generate less files than before and it might be a bit strange if there are old and new files in the same folder.)

[Vangelis Karafillidis]

I thought again about this warning. I agree that it's annoying.
