The "Reload options dialog" has the following text and controls:
------------------------ start existing
dialog-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your data repository was created by an incompatible version of Chandler."
<radio button> Would you like to remove all data and start with a fresh
repository?
<radio button> Click on the link below to learn how to migrate your data
and quit Chandler.
<link> Migration Directions
<button> Ok
------------------------- end existing dialog
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To me this dialog is confusing. I expect radio button choices to be
answers to a question, not questions themselves (as the first option
is). I just don't like the phrasing of the second option. It seems
that the most important point here is that you can quit without loosing
data and I don't think that is very clearly stated. I also don't like
the idea that the user is expected to click 3 different things to
proceed, (1)click the second option, (2) click the migration
instructions link, (3) click Ok.
I would suggest something like this:
------------------------- start proposed dialog
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your data repository was created by an incompatible version of Chandler.
How would you like to proceed?"
<radio button> Remove all data and start with a empty repository?
<radio button> Quit without changing the repository data.
<radio button> Quit without changing the repository data and display
instructions on how to migrate your data to the new Chandler version.
<button> Ok
------------------------- end proposed dialog
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
