Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sound-juicer
When Sound Juicer successfully extracts a CD, a dialog box appears,
reading: "[album name] has been copied successfully."
This dialog box has two buttons, "Open" and "Close". Since this pair of
verb antonyms is presented without different noun objects, I expected
that they will do the exact opposite of each other, the Open button
opening X and Close closing that same X. But then since there's no
obvious candidate for X, I then thought that the "Close" button must
close the entire program, which I didn't want. I only worked out what
they actually did by testing them both ("Close" just closes the dialog).
Ideally it would be clearer than this: "Open extracted music files" and
"Continue using Sound Juicer", or something of the kind. Or maybe "Open
music files" and "OK"/"Continue". I suspect the GNOME HIG calls for
"Close" here, but when contrasted with "Open", the user (assuming I'm
typical) expects it to do exactly the opposite of "Open", which is
utterly confusing.
