Because people wanted to disable all dialogs at once. Thats'
why i added
this option. Also if you allow to disable each dialog, you
need to be
able to enable it again. I think this option is more
simplier.

There is wisdom in not allowing them to do that.

"Simple" isn't the goal, so those should not be
the terms in which we
are thinking.  Many apps have a confirmation dialog, though,
so I
don't see it as a problem as long as each confirmation is
independently enableable or disableable.

And yes, there should be a "Don't show this again"
in each
confirmation.
