[Bf-funboard] Recover last session, open recent, and open

[Bassam Kurdali]

Hi, in my opinion, we are "ok"... Here is my reason:
> 1) Recover last session.
pops up a "dialog"- you have to do the further action of selecting which
file to recover
> 2) New File
you yourself say it's OK..
> 3) Open File
F1? just opens the filechooser- this is actually the safest one, since
it doesn't do anything destructive.

Of course having a quit.blend saved for those occasions doesn't hurt.

blender "drops out" sounds like a crash? otherwise I'm not sure what it
means.

I can't comment on undo across save- I've not seen any other app do
this, but I have no idea if it's because it's bad, hard to implement, or
if they just didn't think of it. Perhaps some of the more
design/interface oriented people on the list have a better idea.

I could be insensitive here- I'm a fairly good touch typist and I've
never pressed a "dangerous" hotkey by mistake during the years I've been
using blender. This may not fit other users experiences.
