EDIT: Ah, I see - you were speaking about the "yes to all" button (or whatever it's called in the English version) on overwrite warning messages.
yeah, that's also more clearer way (didn't think of that, lol.../me slaps himself).
But what I meant where the dialogs where you don't have a "yes to all" button, but could still press YES, while holding down SHIFT to get a "yes to all" behaviour.
So it does exist some place in Windows?
yes
EDIT: wait... let me explain better (gosh, I'm really chaotic today
)...
The overwrite dialogs have 4 buttons:
[YES] [YES TO ALL] [NO] [CANCEL]
So there is a "yes to all" behaviour of course. But the thing I speak of is actually for the NO button. Each time you press "no" a new popup will appear for the next file of your selection. But when you hold down SHIFT while you press NO, you have a "no to all" behaviour...
This is very usefull as CANCEL would actually cancel the current operation. (The overwite files dialog isn't a good example to explain the difference between cancel and shift-no though)
eg: supposse you have a program which performs a certain operation. Only when all the dialogs have been processed the operation is actually performed.
So, when you are presented with such a dialog, you have the choose to press Yes to all, but what if you did't want the first step of the operation (eg overwriting files) but you do want to second step to be performed (adding the files to a library for example). Pressing cancel would indeed skip the overwriting, but would also cancel the whole operation all together. For this situation it is very handy to press shift-no, so the secondary operation is performed as you didn't cancelled the whole thing.
eg: suppose Plus! only changes the passwords after it has shown all the warnings. In that way you could confirm/not confirm all the warnings and when that is done, Plus! will start the changing for each file you did confirm. There are two things how one could make the dialogs:
1) Have 5! buttons:
YES, YES TO ALL, NO, NO TO ALL, CANCEL
2) Have 4! buttons (standard windows way):
YES, YES TO ALL, NO, CANCEL
And the above is actually how the Sound Library Fixer works too when it presents a "overwrite in the library?" warning/confirmation. So to see this in action, use the Sound Library Fixer a couple of times
-
But seeing that Plus! performs the changing of the passwords not in one go without interruption, but processes a file, shows a warning, processes the next file, show a warning, etc... 2 buttons would indeed be sufficent:
OK, OK TO ALL
But if Patchou implements it that way, he must make sure the OK TO ALL is large enough to hold all the translations..... (for Dutch it would be "OK op &alles"
)
This post has been made waaaaay larger than intended 
, sorry
