Hi Jaromir --

Yes. The manual way to set author initials can easily be canceled. However, there are some places that rely on some initials to be set. So, calling #authorInitials will loop until until the user enters something. If you want to cancel those situations, you have to do, for example, CMD+Dot because you would also cancel any control flow that needs those credentials.

One possible change -- that needs to be discussed after the release -- would be to answer something like "unknown" if the user cancels the dialog. Yet, I would argue that that dialog MUST pop up again during the next request for #authorInitials.

Best,
Marcel

Hi all,
 
Two scenarios in a fresh image without author initials previously set:
 
A) invoke Extras -> Set author initials dialogue
   -> Now hit cancel and the dialogue disappears
 
B) make a change in a method and try to save -> Save author initials dialogue appears
   -> Now hit cancel and the dialogue reappears and it's impossible to get rid of it...
   ... unless you chose `debug invocation` from the dialogue window menu and close the debugger
 
Is this intentional? I'd expect the dialogue to disappear and method changes remain unsaved. Opened an issue on github.
 
Best,
