Feature request: Verification dialog before mass-deleting POIs or Geocaches
Completed
Feature request: An `Are you sure?` dialog when mass deleting saved geocaches. (Like when the `empty category` option is checked during import)
I know it`s kind of nagging and annoying if these dialogs pop up, but by now I managed to delete my entire collection of solved mysteries three times (!!) by importing a new POI and not noticing the `empty category` option was still checked at the bottom of the screen.
So please either make the app not remember this particular option or pop up a warning if overwriting >10 POIs. Pleeaaasssseee ;-)
(Yeah, I kept backups, but they are always a month to old for the cache you want to search right now...)
But thanks anyway for this great app (and for the wheryougo player)!
I like this idea 
where exactly want this dialog? I thought it also everywhere :). You mean on screen where you select category for import and have checked "Empty selected category"?

Yes. Exactly there. Condition would be: selected category is not empty and `empty selected category` is checked.
Just make it obvious that this will delete things (like state the number of deleted POIs, make it bold red, use an obvious `delete` icon, whatever), so you don`t mistake it for just another `are you sure` dialog that can be clicked away without reading.
If you think this would bother people to much, add a `never ask me again` checkbox, so they are asked only once.
For me, this would be great! I always overwrite my precious solved mysteries when I`m in a hurry leaving the house, wanting to add just the one mystery I just solved.
Thanks,
Chaos

OK, so what about change from ...
TO ...
- same dialog, so no more confirmations, but more visible important settings

Looks great. The red icon is perfect. Does the lower part only show when the option is checked and there are POIs to be overwritten?
I would even write "Warning! Contents will be deleted!"
Do you think this is too severe?

yes, this appear only when "Empty ..." is checked ;)
and text - I just don`t want to write too much text mainly because of people who translate locus. So if this is clear what is mean by this warning, I`ll leave it as is

Well, I`m a very visual person, the red icon does most of the trick for me.
As for translation: I can only help with German:
empty selected category = ausgewählte Kategory leeren
Warning! Contents will be deleted! = Warnung! Inhalte werden gelöscht.
Thanks for implementing the warning anyway. I can`t describe how awesome it is that you can actually make a wish and get the feature implemented in just some days. You are really great!

You`re welcome :) This is final solution, hope this will prevent from deleting unwanted caches!
