This probably seems to be more of a problem in doing a bunch of comment modifications during initial customization, but it has been really frustrating for me--I can't tell you the number of times I have deleted inadvertantly-highlighted comment(s) I have just worked on when I am working on another one, and there doesn't seem to be a way to recover them.  Can you add a "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO?" or a recover feature to the comments so that if I screw up like I usually do that I don't lose a lot of my previous work?  The comment column DELETE is too terminal for me -- Can you make it a conditional delete?

Hey Bob,

We probably wouldn't add an 'Are you Sure?' as it's an extra step that most guys won't want. Though maybe we could add it as an option to turn on. I could look at an undo feature for comments as well though. Let me see what I can come up with.

I've done it too.  Undo would be nice.

I'll look into adding an undo option there as well.

Same with pics - you have "delete pic" and the pic is gone how about "are you sure you want to delete this pic?"

There's no need to ever delete a pic. Just save it with the inspection. The problem with all the 'are you sure' buttons is that people complain about the extra clicks. We'll see what others think though.
