Part of the Aqua guidelines suggest that when using sheets to report information, the user choices should be action words and not simple yes/no. I'm writing this because when I went to close the iJournal 1.49 window, it popped a sheet saying:
"Entry has not been posted. Close and lose any changes?
No/Yes"
Something I suggest that would be more to the Aqua guidelines:
"This entry has not been posted. Closing this window will cause you to lose any changes.
Don't Close / Close"
"Entry has not been posted. Close and lose any changes?
No/Yes"
Something I suggest that would be more to the Aqua guidelines:
"This entry has not been posted. Closing this window will cause you to lose any changes.
Don't Close / Close"

This entry has not been posted. If you don't post it, you will lose any changes.
Don't Post / Post
Post the entry
Not post the entry, but choose to lose work
Not post the entry and resume editing the work
With Don't Post / Post, you run into the issue of what happens when I click Don't Post? Does it close the window and I lose my work? What if I didn't want to post right away, but continue editing?
How about this:
"This entry has not been posted. If you do not post it, you will lose any changes.
Don't Post / Cancel / Post"
(If all else fails, I look at how TextEdit does it hehe)
This brings up a feature I've been waiting for a while, being able to save drafts of entries... as in, if the feature existed, it would be nice to have Cancel / Close / Post / Save As Draft. :)
