The Rust Belt
  1. Would You Press “Cancel” to Cancel?

    In gen­eral, WinSCP is an amaz­ing tool. I use it to man­age source files of many web sites via FTP or SFTP. It remem­bers ses­sion data, pass­words and authen­ti­ca­tion keys for encrypted con­nec­tions, helps me syn­chro­nize fold­ers, edit files directly on remote machines and some­times serves as a text con­sole for file oper­a­tion com­mands. What is more, the pro­gram is free and open source so I just can­not stop prais­ing it.

    However, like most desk­top appli­ca­tions, it gets really con­fus­ing from time to time:

    Confusing WinSCP cancel operation dialog.

    Would press­ing "Cancel" can­cel the oper­a­tion or can­cel can­cel­ing the operation? :-)
