That will be for information, presumably you are on a windows machine.
On Unix there is a device so named that gives nice random numbers.  You
can ignore that message.  (I've changed the message slightly

Ah, got it.  That would be a bug, never thought about that one.
The art of deletion is not well advanced.

Yep, it's in "wierd" order :)  That dialog is a bit frozen
until it can be turned into a proper plugin, which is quite

That's unexpected.  Backup is pretty clumsy really, when it
starts up it should pop up a dialog that asks for a directory
in which to place the backup ... does it not do that for you?

Only 4 is a surprise.  I've made notes in the code for 2, 3,
so we can fix them sometime.

Thanks!
