It's probably telling that there's been no further discussion on this point. I gather people generally have gotten accustomed to 'Dismiss'? I listed out some alternatives (none of which I favor over Dismiss) but I guess none of them struck anyone's fancy? Maybe we should wontfix this bug? -- Rename 'Dismiss' action https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gtg contributors, which is subscribed to Getting Things GNOME!. Status in Getting Things GNOME!: Confirmed Bug description: Rename the 'Dismiss' function in the UI to 'Archive', like Gmail - this better reflects what it actually does. When I saw the Dismiss button, I assumed that this would be for dismissing pop-up reminders of some sort, not archiving tasks - which is what it actually does. At present this encourages people to use 'Delete' when then really wanted 'Archive'. The concept of 'Archiving' things is well understood by people in general, because it's a real life idiom applied to physical paperwork, etc... It's also a big part of GMail's functionality & interface, so is well tested and supported in the real world for information management applications.
