============================================================ cancel End an operation without leaving any side effects. Only use "cancel" if the operation can be ended cleanly, leaving the system in the same state as before the operation was started. Use "stop" instead if ending the operation will result in partial effects of the operation remaining. ============================================================ stop End an operation leaving some side effects. Use stop if the operation cannot be ended cleanly, or if ending the operation will leave it partially completed. Use "cancel" instead if the operation can be ended cleanly with no side effects. ============================================================
We don't currently have recommendations for these in the Style Guide, but this jives with the HIG's recommendation: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/feedback-interrupting.html.en Suggestions on better wording are welcome. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
