ASK before aborting on ESC press

This was really nasty. I did a content-based comparison which takes more than 10 hours and 10 hours were done overnight. I wanted to send an ESC to my media player and accidentally had FFS in focus. FFS stopped the comparisons immediately rendering 10 hours of runtime useless....

Agree -- this really stings when it happens. IMO any operation that consumes a lot of time or resources shouldn't be dismissed without confirmation. Of course, "a lot" is subjective. As far as I'm concerned an option in GlobalSettings.xml to enable this protection would be fine too. Thanks for your consideration!
