So for complex operations that are going wrong you have to cancel &
relauch or do one change each time (and hope you can get where you
want that way, which sometimes is not possible). For simple things it
woul work, but for complex not, so or there is a way to have some kind
of undo stack or another method (not a dialog) must be used.
