Show "Discard" instead of "Don't save" in save as dialogue box

Curently Blender has three options (Save word shown twice):



Save
Don't Save
Cancel

What if we would have (Save word shown once):

Save
Discard
Cancel

Changin "Don't Save" to "Discard" would make more contrast between the words.
"Save" and "Don't Save" gets mixed up visually since both uses the same word "Save".

Sorry but, "Yes | No | Cancel" is the best of them all.... Everything else sucks... 😉

For me, what is written on the second key does not matter so much. Perhaps the Discard is better than Don't Save.

I would like to raise a subject that comes back from time to time. The blender is very much based on the keyboard shortcuts. The key for accepting "S" and rejecting "D" is right next to each other on the keyboard. Too many times in a hurry I pressed the wrong key mistakenly. Yes, I know there are backups. They work great. In such situations I was saving myself with them, but with such a small change, life could become a little easier. The Blender is unique and it does a lot of things much better than other softwares, but in this case, it is standard that the key has a shortcut away from "S", for example "N".

Or it could be like this: _______________________________ Save changes before closing?

Save / Exit / Cancel? ________________________________

But isn't this super trivial? Or are we talking about making it more readable?

Such an important thing. It even get 8 votes. Are you people serious? Cycles motion blur is less important, of course...

* @IIIFGIII * obviously, much more ppl who close files, than ppl who use MB

* @ Vyacheslav *Not obviously. If someone asked me before this suggestion what's written on this buttons - don't think I'd tell correct.

For me curious why people care of such " nothing " at all... Can anyone imagine real case of pressing" Don't Save " when it need to " Save ". Even people with poor eyesight can tell difference - " Don't Save " much longer.

Right now, when I write this comment, here 24 votes in MB 22. This world hopeless ...

* @IIIFGIII * The reason for this edit to not have triple «save». The same reason pushed developers to remove double in the interface.

When interface «speaks with you» normally, it is more comfortable. So: — Do you want to save file before exit? — Yes! Save! / Don`t / Cancel

Also «Discard» is popular variant in many applications.

BUT yes, you are right, different length is good and strung-block size is more readable than actual letters.
