>From your ubuntuforums post, it seems like you found an incosistency between the way some GNOME apps express the same idea. While we can't pretend to have the exact same phrase in every dialog (think text document versus email draft), we can at least try to be consistent. The first thing now would be to agree on what's a better phrase for the action of "closing an editor and being asked on what do to with unsaved changes" in general, like: - preserve my changes: save|save as - throw away my changes: discard - keep working: cancel If we agree on that, I think you can file bugs for all the apps you find using different phrases. Then again, we need some consensus for this, anyone? :-) thanks! _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
