I completely agree. Yes/no is more natural in this case.

Best regards,
Eugene.

Nick pointed out in another post that this is contrary to the Gnome HIG and it requires reading the text to answer correctly. He suggests that the accept/yes should be _Save to indicate what should be done.

This agrees with the example save alert given in the HIG which has:

"Close _without saving", "_Cancel" and "_Save" as the buttons.

The HIG also points out that the question should be in the primary text, the secondary text is for extra information. So I suggest that there be no secondary text and primary text be "File \"%s\" was not found on disk,\ntry to resave?"

Cheers
Lex
