Hello,

Attached is a patch which changes the labelling of the "Continue
without saving" button in the confirm quit dialog to "Quit without
saving".  "Continue without saving" is misleading; the word "Continue"
suggests that the user should suggest this if they want to continue
using the program, which is not what the button does.
I would vote for not accepting the patch since the same "Continue without saving" is shown not only when performing "File->Quit". It is also shown when trying to start a new capture when for instance previously captured data has not yet been saved. "Continue..." rather implies continuing with the user requested operation without saving.
