Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes I dismiss the Submission Info window with an erroneous press of return/enter.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to recall the Submission Info window.

It doesn't even need to be populated, as it was dismissed prematurely I'd be willing to enter all information again from the beginning.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Edit submission text file by hand.

I swear there was supposed to be another request for a similar thing before that I was going to point to, but I guess not.

Long story short: I'm probably not going to deal with bringing up the last submission info in some way because that's more effort than it should be. The other proposed thing that I'm more willing to deal with is a half-way between current MPF and Check that pops up the UI so it can be run separately after.

bringing up the last submission info

that's not what I'm asking for.

I'd just like a way to get the submission info window to reappear, blank, so I can start entering info from scratch.

Or a way to disable Enter/Return from dismissing the window, so that it's less likely it will be closed accidentally.

I wonder if this proposed thing would solve a problem I have, where I foolishly deleted the !submissionInfo.txt file, but still have the zipped logs. It would be great to recreate !submissionInfo.txt from the logs, assuming everything is somewhere in the logs.

@JohnVeness If you unzip the files in that folder and then make dummy versions of the IMG/SCM (if it's a CD), then you can just use MPF.Check to create a mostly-complete version of the submissionInfo file. Then it can be filled in by hand with things like ringcodes. See the wiki or the built-in help text in MPF.Check for more details.

I'm now considering this a duplicate of https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/issues/466 for the sake of ease.
