If I select 'Abort Result' in the tasks menu in client version 4.24, will there be a prompt for the equivelent of "Are you sure?"

I'd just like the reminder, in case I accidentally click that task. Mouseover describes the erasure of credits, but I think a failsafe would be optimal.

Thanks for the answer -- I was wondering about the same thing but didn't want to experiment.

Those two entries are close enough together that it would be easy to click on the wrong one. I assume the same thing applies to "update and suspend project."

Clicking on Update will cause boinc to issue an RPC to the project's scheduler.
Clicking on Suspend Project will suspend the project and the 'Suspend Project' commands changes to 'Resume Project'.

Neither of these commands require the 'Are you sure' prompt as they are non-destructive commands.
