Terrible bug in Heidi 7.0.0.4

Was working with Heidi last few days , testing it.
Unofortunatelly i had to uninstall it from my computer as i just lost my whole DB i was working on last 2 days :(
I was trying to export this DB to sql file but i didn't notice that i set as an output exactly the same DB...
Of course it was my fault i didn't notice this but Heidi should have given me some error, information or whatever but instead it deleted all tables from the exported db!

Oh shit, that's really bad.

What exactly did you select in the "Output" drop down? I could imagine it was "Database", and you checked "DROP tables", and "DELETE + INSERT data"?

The DROP checkboxes alreaday have an exclamation mark and are formatted in bold as soon as you check them. But I guess it makes sens to alert the user if any of the two "DROP" checkboxes are checked, before the actual export starts.

You mentioned a "bug" - what exactly makes you think this is a bug?

I think he can tell you check that the FROM and TO database don't be the same!

Yes, if that was what abiku did - that's why I asked for settings.
