From https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfpanel-switch/+bug/1778654 The possibility to easily backup the xfce panelconfigurations and easily switch between configurations is great! But choosing "Apply configuration" I would expect a confirmation dialog remembering to make a backup of the current configuration. Better: offer to create such backup in the confirmation dialog The icon on the "apply"-button is very similar to many "configure" or "property"-icons in other applications. Finding the Xfce Panel Switch between other xfce configuration tools without knowing them may lead to the mistake that I can configure anything instead of apply (what's happend to me...). (I had help to restore my custom configurations from backup files. Now the first Thing I will do is to save my configurations with Xfce Panel Switch ;-)
Created attachment 9047 Add a confirmation dialog before applying a configuration Hi! I resolved this issue by adding a confirmation dialog before applying a configuration. I also added a checkbox to make a backup of current configuration. This is my first contribution and my first time I use PyGObject, so if there are any errors I will try to fix them!
