[Bug 177608] New: Wrong button text to save image tags and caption

[Anders Lund]

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177608

           Summary: Wrong button text to save image tags and caption
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-ARCH
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

This is a suggestion to change the button text on the caption/rating/tags
'apply' button to 'save'.

I suggest it because what happens is that the user data is saved when the
button is pressed (or the prompt accepted), and otherwise lost. In newer
versions of digikam, the data can even be stored in the image file, making this
even more obvious.

Usually 'apply' is used for changing settings, which is very different in that
the options not used are not lost.

Anders,

Apply want mean "Apply metadata changes to files"...

Save is more delicate to use. It's generally used to mean save full image and
it can be misunderstand. Don't forget that here, we touch only metadata of
files and never image data.

Also, if digiKam is set to not touch metadata of file and only changes caption
and tags to digiKam database, "save" is fully unadapted.

For me the text button "Apply" is fine...

Marcel, Andi, Mik ?

"Apply" for me too.
I see some valid points in the bug report, but more valid points in Gilles'
response. The only thing to convince me would be input from UI guidelines /
usability guidelines.

To discut with Arnd on IRC, "Apply" sound like the better way for the moment.

I close this file as "work for me"
