Does Yate have the ability to remember a previous prompt answer?

I have an action that warns me when artwork is below my preferred size. It’s triggered by an “Auto Run on Save” script.

Functionally, it works exactly as intended, except for one scenario.

Most of the time, I only save once and move on. But occasionally I’ll notice something else and need to save again. In those cases, I’m not re‑adding the album; I’m just making another edit.

If I wasn’t able to find larger artwork the first time, Yate prompts me again on the second save. Ideally, I’d like it to remember that I already acknowledged the issue during the previous save.

Is there any way for Yate to retain a “state” between saves so it doesn’t repeat the same prompt?

Sure. Include something like the following in your Auto Run on Save action whenever you detect artwork that's too small.

Set named variable 'warning' to "\^Image Warning Issued^"
Test if named variable 'warning' is false (Set test state)
if true
Set User Defined Text Item 'Image Warning Issued' to "1"
Prompt "You're warning message"
endif

If you ever update the image, you can remove the UDTI. Even if it's still there it will not hurt.

Ok, that's good, thanks.

I was hoping to achieve it without setting a UDTI but it's a good approach now that I think about it.
