1.2 only gives a choice of trash, or quarantine. I'm missing the "do nothing" or cancel choice.

choices when bad file found - cougar718

Hi there. Author of MisMatch here. The problem with this is you give the user a choice to do nothing which means no rename of the file takes place, etc. This opens up the opportunity for the user to forget the file was detected and possibly launch a real virus. I left the option of "Leave It" out because after talking it over with a friend of mine, we decided it would be better to be safe than sorry.

Now if I put a "Leave It" option in, and try to rename the file, the folder action is triggered and you have a endless loop of dialogs because the folder action is triggered on a rename of a file.

Thanks for the input! Greatly appreciated.
