Odd, I will have to double check, but in theory hitting the X should be considered like doing cancel (aka stay offline) and not cause any data lost. I will investigate further.

What version are you seeing this on?

Best regards,

Hi, thanks for the quick response. I tested RDM’s behavior again. When I close the "Offline Edits" dialog using the X button, RDM remains in offline mode. However, if I close RDM via Task Manager while the "Offline Edits" window is still open, I lose my offline-saved entries. It seems that force-closing RDM through Task Manager creates a new offline cache?

We are using version 2024.3.29.0 64-bit.

Description:

Currently, offline edits are discarded when the "Offline Edits" dialog is closed via the "X" button or when RDM is forcefully closed. This can lead to unintentional data loss, especially if the dialog is open on an unseen monitor and the user is unaware of it.

Proposed Improvement:

The "Offline Edits" dialog should reappear the next time the user goes online if no explicit decision has been made (either to discard or accept the changes). Offline edits should be preserved until the user actively makes a choice.

Benefits:

• Prevents accidental loss of offline edits.

• Enhances user experience by ensuring changes are not unintentionally lost.

• Increases transparency by avoiding unnoticed pending edits.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!
