ThinkDraw - Is it possible to add a feature that asks if you're sure you want to navigate away from the drawing page when you're drawing? For example, if you're drawing something in flowers and click on animals it will prompt you to confirm this.

The reason I ask is because this morning I was drawing a picture. I'd spent 2 hours on it, and I was almost done, probably about 3/4 done, and it was probably the best drawing I've done to date, and my daughter called for me, and I looked away, and accidentally clicked "more" and when I looked back, the drawing was GONE. I hadn't saved draft because I was planning on finishing it in one sitting. And now I've lost all that work. I'm sitting here shaking and crying...I can't believe all that work is gone because of a misclick!

I second this request, i have lost many a drawing with a miss-click!

matthew

I too have run afoul of the dreaded misclick...

Glad I'm not alone in this. Now, I'm going to go try to recreate that 2 hours worth of work, and maybe actually finish the drawing.

GREAT SUGGESTION! It would be similar to the confirmation that appears on the CLEAR button. I hope it's not that difficult. Thanks in advance dear Rachel

Ooo, yes please ... too easy to get distracted and to go off at a tangent ... need a safety net.

I'm throwing my vote in there too. Seems like a really good idea.

I second... er.. 7th.. the motion.

All I did was have a the world's tiniest muscle-tired spasm... finger happened to be hovering to the side... off my pic... over one of the views of other artists' recent work.... *B*A*M* ...there I was, staring at this other person's drawing... and 4 hours of my work... gone forever.

Yes this has happened so many times...yesterday i tried drawing something 3 times then finally gave up. this is what happens to me: i get up for one second and my 3 yr old dives for my chair and cklicks away instantly.
i thought about writing the same request before...im so glad others want this too.

I'm sure we have asked for this before - but I support the motion wholeheartedly..

if we could just get a confirmation request whenever you try to navigate anywhere off the 'Draw' panel

(sorry, 11thing motions just sounded horrible !)

(why does Inked's list leave me humming... "five goooooolden rings... and a quoRUMMM in a pear tree..........)

marg

Qsilv.. plEASe tell me what a 'quoRUMMM' is ?

(and I-Gemini.. you're just brilliant !)

inked_gemini

Lol...well, my "twelfthing" the motion coupled with it being the Christmas season (and I do love Christmas)...may have something to do with it. Add to that the fact that we do sometimes sound like little children begging for a Christmas present from the Think Draw Sant-ee Claus...

It is a very good suggestion though. So...can we have it? Please? Please, please, please, can we, can we, can we...

... please ...
