Thanks: 9 times
I was just editing a show file, and after some time-consuming multiview layer work that would have taken seconds instead of minutes with copy and paste, I went to hit the save button. I missed, thanks to a tiny speck of dust in my mouse, and hit Last instead. My show file immediately reloaded a previous version of itself from before I had done my multiview work.

Could we please have a confirmation dialog if there are already active inputs before the Last button clobbers everything?

For what it is worth : the "Last" file is auto updated every minute (60 seconds) even while working on layers! so don't save to quickly ;-). I one loads a personal preset that one becomes also the last preset after a minute


Some thoughts
Surprised a tiny bit of dust made de mouse cover the distance of a not so small button (isnt the finger doing the final action ? ) Better not try to click the input overlay buttons
How many action confirmations do we actually need to pop up and still maintain quick operations ?

FWIW2: there is a utility floating around allowing to copy/paste complete layer settings
