A couple of days ago I was clearing out old CD-ROMs, the ones you get free with PC magazines, and gleaning them of software that I either wanted or thought I should check out.
One application that caught my eye was AceHTML 6 Pro, a development environment for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ASP, and PHP. This morning I got around to installing it and it was all going well, in a follow-the-instructions kind of a way, until I was presented with this dialog box
The dialog box reads: “Do you want to restore the menus and buttons to see the new features?”
I have no idea what this means. I have just installed this application for the first time, so
- I would expect the menus and buttons to be “restored”, if that means that they are returned to their default positions, and
- they are ALL new features to me, I’ve just installed the thing!
Please, software developers, give us dialog box messages that are actually meaningful to users. 🙂
