Confirm before unlink

I have a house that was linked. I tried to unlink one object from it, but I managed to unlink the whole house into pieces. I need unlinking for example because some parts cannot be tweaked without unlinking, and I do not want to take my house into a sandbox and back and refurnish just because of small modifications. So it would be nice, if the object had more than 10 prims, it would ask "do you want to unlink the whole thing into possibly hundreds of little pieces"... The same goes with the multiedit. If I am trying adjust a window's transparency, its not nice to have accidentally the whole house transparent, because then you have to make it solid and then adjust every window to transparent. There could be in preferences an option "confirm edit and unlink of more than X prims object (0 = do not confirm)". And/or it could be an option in the group itself.

what about being more carefull? O_o

More careful is ok, but accidents happen. I was being careful, but somehow I mixed things up. The piece I was trying to unlink was yellow bordered like selected, and no things was blue bordered like multiselected. Then I tried to unlink, but now everything is unlinked. And having a optional confirm message question set to on, I think its the ultimate carefulness.

when you unlink something by mistake, if i remember you can just hit relink again to relink all (if you didn't click somewhere else...)

It would be nice if the undo function were intelligent enough to remember links/unlinks, but it's dodgy at best so I wouldn't trust it anyway

Yes, relinking is a possibility, but in this case I did not know that I got everything unlinked, so it was too late.

Relinking is USUALLY possible. I hate it when you get a big build that unlinks itself when you, say, edit a linked part and have the whole thing unlink itself for no good reason. Usually the thing doesn't go back together! Or the whole thing links except for *the former root prim*. The link algorithm is my sworn enemy.

This is a good idea. There's already a system in place in SL for popup warnings/confirmation notices like this, complete with a "show this warning next time" checkbox so I, personally, can avoid getting this warning.

What I would like is a warning before I manually modify the position of an object in a way that moves it more than, say, 30m in one go. It's incredibly aggravating to try to enter a position manually, only to typo and send my object off into the distance. Sometimes, of course, this may be useful, which is why all I want is a warning... but I think probably 90% of the time that I manually tell an object to move more than 30m by entering coordinates, it was a mistake. It often takes a long time to track such an object down, if I can ever find it.

Then how would an "are you sure" window have helped you? You thought you were unlinking something else and you would have told it yes you were sure. There's nothing I hate more than my computer asking me if I'm sure I want to do something. I told it to do it, it should do it.
