Re: Re: Re: Bugging out of Squeak: msg#00117lang.smalltalk.squeak.beginners
The option should not be called "Quit without saving", in any language, unless that is what it does. If there is a command "Save and quit" followed by "Quit", then the confirmation for "Quit" should be something like "Are you sure you want to quit? Quit / Cancel" instead of the confusing "Save changes before quiting? yes/no/cancel". Or, there should just be a single "quit" command that gives the three options. But that will make some people nervous the first time, because they won't be sure that saving is an option. Though if the command before "quit" is "save", a nervous person will first save and then quit, and discover when they quit that they could have just used the quit command and saved as they were quiting. I've taught Smalltalk to close to a thousand people, so I have had a lot of experience watching newcomers get confused by little things. There is no reason they should get confused about how to quit. -Ralph
