XnViewMP 1.4.5 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


General
MessageBoxes are not unified

Suggestion
unify MessageBoxes as following:
- don't use title bar icons
- use phrases 'Don't ask again' (for yes/no..) and 'Don't show again' (for ok only)
- aligh buttons to the right
- Don't use "warning" or "caution" words in the text. If users need to proceed with caution, indicate this using a warning icon instead.

as per guidelines for win dialog boxes (pre winUI), especilly:
- Confirmations
- Warning Messages
- Error Messages

Mockups of based on few messageboxes (text has been updated as well)
  • general

  • file operations

  • catalog
