Confirm Long File Name Bug in Player Object

[Sivakatirswami]

We appreciate constructive criticism.

I'm not a trained developer, and just do the best I can... some  
computer savvy users take your apps and run with them...  gives you  
the false sense that you did a great job with the UI... but I'm  
learning that's not true as some of my "naive" users come back to me  
with questions I never dreamed of...

In anticipation of doing more for the public in the not-too-distant  
future see below

OK  I think I understand... better if the buttons describe the  
actions and don't just throw a boolean at the user... how about this:

answer "Are you finished with the last one? If so, shall I clear
the header info?"

with

"Cancel" or "Clear Header"

Better?
