Minor wording change/fix

1. On the "Strip of Images" dialog box, there are buttons that say "Horizontal adjustment" and "Vertical adjustment." The word "adjustment" is not right; it should be "alignment."

2. On the same dialog box, and only because you're there fixing the above, you can remove "respectively" from the line "Automatically adjust height or width." Having "respectively" does not add any value or meaning to the sentence.

3. On the Associations menu, there's a button that says "Restore All." It should be--I think--"Remove All" instead.

Hope this is helpful.

Right

Not sure, i think restore is better...

Restore vs. Remove

"Restore" means to "put back to how it was before." So:

1. Program ABC is the player for JPG files

2. I use "Associations" to make XnView the new player for JPG files

3. I use this for a while, and decide I don't like it.

4. I come back to "Associations" and click on the "Restore All" button

What now happens to the association for JPG?

1. If it is re-set to Program ABC, since that's what it was before I changed it to XnView, then the proper word is "Restore."

2. If it is simply cleared, so that we don't know what the player is except that is it NOT XnView, then the proper word is "Remove."

Of course, it's not a big deal one way or another....

I support

:) Hello !

- Here, I don't use the association thingy in XnView, so the page is always empty.
- Supposing I set some ones, and then ask for "Restore", I would come back to "nought", nothing, *peanuts*.

- So, I guess that "Remove" is more appropriate, and support the Ty's proposal.

I've even thought of starting an Académie Anglais to help insure the purity, integrity and precision of the language...!

- Why not ? But in French, I would prefer "une Académie Anglaise" :P
