No strong opinions, but from the proposals I find the most convenient: 1. add 'dangerous' flag in converter(s) as proposed by JMarc 2. config option to disable warnings. 3. pop-up with warning after file opening - it can be even without don't ask me again, but there should be information 'You can disable these warnings in Preferences'. This way we assure that people really read the whole message without blind clicking and yet we offer possibility for geeks not to be obtrused. No opinion about some icons in status bar. Pavel
