Unlogical action in this link (?)

[Kjell Iver Johansen]

I just pushed this textlink inside the Imagesettings in ACP

I have tens and thousands of images on mye site - and I was not expecting a  rebuild of all those images upon pressing that link. I find it kind of unlogical. There should have been some kind of warning..?

It says "rebuild existing images." What did you think would happen?

Perhaps as a compromise (as the link is logical) a modal box(popup) asking you to confirm the action would be an idea ?

Personally, I'd think it would take me to the associated ACP option to do that - not do it directly from that link - but that's just me.

It does look like, if you click you will get a popup explaining what it does. It does not look like an action.

That should do it.

Yes. I was not expecting something like that at all.

My uploadsfolder contains 136 000 files - mostly images - and this recount/rebuild has started all over again and again. Completely waste of bits and bytes and I just hopes everything is in place when it finishes.
