Summary0006598: Order of Abort and Ignore buttons inconsistent
DescriptionWhen an error (missing picture) is on a document the pdf export and the print dialogue both produce a window with an error message. The button on the two respective windows are the same but in a different order. The pdf export is out of line with the rest of the program.

pdf export: buttons: left Abort right Ignore
print dialogue: left Ignore right Abort
It is only a cosmetic issue but makes it easier for the user if it is consistent.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a new doc. put a emptiy picture frame on it. Klick on the pdf icon. Then klik on the print icon.
Additional InformationThe issue does not exist on linux as a different approach is used with the dialogues)
TagsNo tags attached.

Is this Windows only? I don't see any "Abort" button on Linux.

No "Abort" button here too, neither in 1.3.3.10svn, nor in 1.3.5svn...

As reported (under additional information) the issue is _only_ for Windoze.
And indeed it is the case with 1.3.3.9 and 1.3.3.10 Snapshot.

I wonder any way if the windoze versions could not be brought in line with the Linux variants. Why have a dialogue between the command (print/pdf export) and the preflight verifier. That is only in windoze that you have to deal with this dialogue. Linux goes straight to the perflight verifier.

But then there might be isssues of which I am not aware.

I'm on Windows XP SP2 and do not see any "Abort" button...

Ah, i've understood how to reproduce that issue. You can also reproduce it on Linux btw, just enable the "Ignore all errors" options in document's preflight preferences. When enabled a simple warning message is displayed with "Abort" and "Ignore" buttons, when disabled one goes straight to preflight verifier.

Here we go. I'm glad it is not only on my system :-)

I wonder if the solution would not simply be to use the same dialogue for both occasions. From my ignorant perspective it seems that some code could be resued instead of having two dialogues displaying the same message yet have different design only. But then I dont know the internal workings.

Those are not two different dialogs. Both dialogs are simple message boxes where "Abort" and "Ignore" are parameters of a function call.

Then what about using the same message box with the function calls in the same order? then it it probably just the order in which the function calls have been placed in the code.

No again, it's the order in which the "Abort" and "Ignore" strings are passed as parameters.
