Maybe you had it in #gnome-de, but it was definitely discussed on this list or the usability list too (it's too hot now to go look it up). Ask dobey for the details, but IIRC Novell user testing showed convincingly that a majority of test subjects didn't know/expect that Close would save their changes. Therefore, first it was made explicit-apply but after a storm of protest, it became instant apply again but with different wording. So if we want to make things consistent, we should consider making every instant-apply Close button a Finish button instead. > Well, the HIG say "Close" IIRC, so, I think everything should be the way > the HIG say. The HIG is a set of guidelines that are evolving, they are not set in stone. regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
