Make confirmation of deactivating constraints optional

[pnlshd]

Hello,

First of all, it is a really great feature to be able to add constraints for all teachers at once. It makes building the initial file much easier. Previously I have automated writing to the input .fet file but being able to do it through the GUI is definitely much better.

Also the ability to select multiple constraints for activation and deactivation without a filter is really great, but I have only one question, can I disable confirmation for activating/deactivating constraints?

It wasn't there until multi select was introduced and I don't seem to find a way to disable it and be able to directly activate/deactivate one or more constraints like before.

Thank you for your efforts.

Hello,

Thank you for the appreciation! I made it, and added a new snapshot. See my Snapshots post, or here directly: https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/test/

Thank you for your effort, liviu. I really appreciate your response.

I tried it and I think it is fine now I can disable confirmation (partially).

I was too used to deactivating/activating many constraints and activities during the trial-error process while building a timetable that I need some time to get used to the little count confirmation that is present now.

It is also probably because I have enabled the 'use colors in interface' option and this lets me know when a constraint/activity is active or not directly by looking at it without confirmations.

That is why I would love it if there is an option to fully disable the confirmation message, however, the current version is fine and I will definitely get used to it with time. Thanks again for your efforts.

EDIT: I suggest showing the count of currently selected constraints/activities next to the "multiple selection" label at the top of the dialogs if you still want to keep the user aware of what he is doing, if possible of course. This just came to my mind. Kindly accept my regards.

Good suggestions, pnlshd! Did them, please get the new snapshot.

Edit: do you like the new History (Undo/Redo) feature? Did you meet bugs?

Thank you for your effort and the prompt response!

I tried the new snapshot and the interface now rocks!

I like displaying the number of active selected constraints in the label, and direct disabling them with one click!

History? Wow! I just noticed this new feature! It is really a big addition to the program. It will save us from remembering the recent edits if we wanted to cancel them. I will definitely tell you if I find problems with it.

Thanks again for all of your work and for making our lifes easier
