Accidental Change All (am I alone?)

Wed Mar 11 12:02:47 PDT 2015

I use a Windows Robocopy batch file to backup my three FM working
directories at the end of each day and I don't have to wait around for it
to complete...I launch and lock down my workstation.  This way, when I
start in the morning, I don't have to pull down a working set as they've
already been archived the previous night.. As it takes about 20 minutes (up
to 30 GB)  to do the upload (depending on the number of files that changed
since previous backup), which I don't have to wait through in the morning.

I have had this happen on a few relatively rare occasions … and have not
looked into how to prevent it.

But, it is one of the reasons I copy the files + book into an archive
folder below the working folder before an editing session for any given
document.

So, yeah, I could mess up what I worked on “that day” (usually not many
hours, since I am not always editing stuff), but not from before that.

Then my backup solution (I use and love ShadowProtect from
www.storagecraft.com) protects me further with older copies if I really
munged things badly enough! This backs up twice a day in my configuration –
but it can do “continuous” too.

Hi,

We have recently  had 2 incidents where the Change All operation was
launched accidently – the dialog box is open and has the focus and the
writer accidently, or in another goal, uses the ALT-A key combination.
Change All is launched - no permission is asked and no Cancel or Undo is
available. If working in a book, the changes are book wide! Can be
catastrophic, believe me.

Have you experienced this? Do you know of any solutions?

Many thanks,
