And how do you "rollback" the files which have been overwritten? Anyway in general "Cancel" doesn't mean rollback. It means "abort NOW, as safely as possible". The GUI word for rollback is Undo, which is implemented in konqueror (although it can't restore overwritten files, obviously). But Cancel should just abort quickly, as in any other dialog. -- David Faure, faure@kde.org, sponsored by Trolltech to work on KDE, Konqueror (http://www.konqueror.org), and KOffice (http://www.koffice.org). >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
