P: Wish for a "cancel" button on "Back Up Catalog" box

If I had only one wish for the next Lightroom update, it would be a cancel button on the last dialog when you close a catalog. I like the reminder to back up each time, but sometimes I click quit too soon or by accident. It would be great if the "Back Up Catalog" dialog included "cancel" next to "Skip this time" and "back up." Thanks.

    You’ve posted to a very old thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same issue which you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information including system information, a complete description of the problem and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

     

    In the unlikely event the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

     

    Thank you!

      Ditto all of the above. This is stupid and should be easy to fix.

        THANK YOU SO MUCH that worked!!!!  I don't believe I would have clicked don't show again as I definitely was very grateful to have it.  I will wait for the next upgrade and see whether it defaulted back to the legacy of not having the button.  If so, at least now I have a solution.  It took me awhile to find the reset all warnings - in windows, it is under preferences/general tab!  Thanks again for your help - you saved the day!!!!

        You may have clicked the “don’t show again” button last time. Reset all warnings in the preferences.

        Ok, so last update LR ADDED the "are you sure you want to exit" feature and I was in heaven!  I close this darned software so many times and have to reload it over and over again.  Now the last update THEY TOOK IT AWAY!!! WTH????  Why would you do that?  If someone wants the Legacy of NOT having that button - PLEASE do that - don't frustrate those of us who have been waiting for over 5 yrs (or more) for this feature!!!!!

        Hey, it already exists, but it was not necessary to cancel this dialog, sorry my LR is in French!

        So reset your preferences .... And if you work with older versions, then, pay the subscription and update!
