Description Martin Blanchard 2009-08-13 10:07:56 UTC 
Some apps use a GtkDialog to ask you if you want to save your work before exiting but none of them use the same buttons/labels/... there is no coherance.
Always have to read it completely and look for the right button is a waist of time. Moreover you are usually irritate by this question. It could be interesting to have one un GTK+ that every apps use. Like that you get use to it and quickly operate the right choice.

Can you please come up with some non-coherance examples in applications?
Comment 2 Martin Blanchard 2009-08-13 16:22:42 UTC 
For example in the gtk+ apps I use :

  - Gedit/Abiword/Evolution use a warning icon and The GIMP a save icon,
  - Translations (french) are not the same between Evolution and Gedit/...,
  - The Gimp use an icon for it's "close without saving" button,
  - Evolution give the focus to "save" button wherewas Gedit gives it to
    "cancel",
  - Ardour place the "cancel" button on the left, Gedit in the middle, ...
  - ...


Not a big deal anyway, but I think it should be good to have only one dialog that you recognize easily and quickly.
