--- Comment #6 from Dave Barton <d...@tasit.net> --- (In reply to comment #3) Hi Cor, To be honest the naming of the dialog buttons does not greatly concern me, provided that the "Apply' (or whatever name is chosen) button does not close the dialog, but since you have asked for my opinion... In almost every program I have used over the years where there is an "Apply" button/option changes are immediately applied to the underlying data, without closing the dialog/editing facility. The fact that the LO Hyperlink dialog is modeless means that the user can select other items (eg. a Calc cell) and continue editing without having to be continually reopening the dialog. "Apply" appears to the most widely used and understood terminology for this kind of feature. Renaming the "Close" button to "OK" might be more intuitive for less experienced computer users, since "OK" is commonly used in other software to confirm the action/selection and close the dialog/editing facility. While I understand what the "Back" button does, I am unclear as to why it was included in the first place or if it serves a "very useful" purpose. The word "Back" is open to many interpretations and user expectations. I would suggest replacing the "Back" button and it's associated function with a simple and generally understood "Close" button to close the dialog without updating the underlying data. I suggest "Close" rather than "Cancel", because "Cancel" might mislead some users into thinking it cancels, or reverts, any changes they have already applied. Yes, it can be argued that changing the function of an existing button with that name may be confusing to some existing users, but it seems that there is already some confusion about this dialog, otherwise this issue would have never been opened. The attached image, including suggested help/tooltip commentary, is my concept of what a revamped hyperlink dialog might look like.
