    While I see the potential usefulness of this, Locale is designed to be an app that runs in the background and works as unobtrusively as possible. Popping up a dialog every time a situation changed would be incredibly annoying for most users! In addition, most users aren’t looking at the phone when a situation change occurs (e.g. the phone is in your pocket when your location changes), so situations might not ever change.

    Are there any compelling use cases for this feature request?

    As an alternative, if you want to temporarily disable Locale, that can be accomplished under the Menu of the main Locale screen.

        Carter - I agree with raynerape that he most probably means (2). I'm voting for this on the basis of it being (2). But good work for picking someone up for being ambiguous with a request! :-)

        I'm unclear as to what your request is... I see two interpretations:

        1. Saving: A confirmation dialog before saving an edited situation.

        2. Triggering: A confirmation dialog interrupting whatever you're doing when a situation's settings are about to be applied.

        Which do you mean?
