I have sent a patch upstream which does the following:-
I have changed the backup dialog text from this:
---
Evolution backup can start only when Evolution is not running. Please make sure
that you save and close all your unsaved windows before proceeding. If you
want Evolution to restart automatically after backup, please enable the toggle
button.
---
To this:
---
To backup your data and settings, you must first close Evolution. Please make
sure that you save any unsaved data before proceeding.
---
I removed the unnecessary explanation about the togglebutton, it is not needed,
it can explain itself. I also removed the bit about closing unsaved windows,
this isn't what we want to tell the user, we want the user to saved any unsaved
data, not just delete it. I also rephrased the first bit to make it orientated
to what the user is doing, not speaking about the technical side of how it will
work.
I also changed the button text from:
--
No | Yes
--
To:
--
Cancel | Close and Backup Evolution
--
Now there is no confusion over what will happen.
I have changed the restore dialog text from this:
---
This will delete all your current Evolution data and settings and restore them
from your backup. Evolution restore can start only when Evolution is not
running. Please make sure that you close all your unsaved windows before you
proceed. If you want Evolution to restart automatically restart after restore,
please enable the toggle button.
---
To this:
---
To restore your data and settings, you must first close Evolution. Please make
sure that you save any unsaved data before proceeding. This will delete all
your current Evolution data and settings and restore them from your backup.
---
this is the same text as in the backup dialog, but with the added sentence of
warning the user of what will happen. Likewise the button text has been changed
from:
--
No | Yes
--
To:
--
Cancel | Close and Restore Evolution
