For erasing Activities and Journal entries, a confirmation alert is
important as there's no way to recover from a mistake. For Duplicate,
however, it's easy to just delete the new entry. We shouldn't have
confirmation dialogues where there's no harm as having people click
through confirmations trains them to just click Yes/OK/whatever every
time without thinking - often realising it was the wrong choice just a
fraction of a second later.

So how about a Browse-like "finished downloading/duplicating, [go to new
entry]" style alert?
