Hi Folks The attached patch will make the 'Do you want to save?' alerts confirm more strictly to the GNOME HIG without, AFAIK violating the Win32 one. I was going to file this as a bug but since I couldn't find the ethereal bug database I decided to fix it instead! Basically it will convert the current: [Yes] [No] [Cancel] so that the buttons use imperitive verbs and are ordered in the recommended Alternate, Cancel, Affirmative form (both recommendations from section 4.2). For example: [Continue without Saving] [Cancel] [Save] Note: I opted for 'Continue without Saving' instead of 'Close without Saving' which is recommended in section 4.6.1 since in most cases are not about the close the ethereal window. On Win32 and GTK1 the button labels will remain the same but ordering will be Win32 style (Affirmative, Alternate, Cancel). Note the Win32 guidelines recommend Yes/No for simple cases but a sentance later say verbs are good where they increase clarity ... Finally these changes mean the ESD_BTNS_YES_NO_CANCEL are no longer used though I have left the infrastructural code in for the time being (and on GTK2 switched to Alternate, Cancel, Affirmative) form if it was used. There are probably more words in this e-mail than the patch so I think I'll shut up now ... -- Daniel Thompson <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
