Hi,
with the recent upgrade to version 1.7 I noticed that there are some
improper (to the extend that they degrade user experience) uses of the
Windows Vista/7 task dialogs.
You should probably check the Windows UX guidelines
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa511268.aspx#commandLinks
is a good start), but for now please fix the two following usages that
I have encountered today:
Revert changes:

Issues: Main instruction not at the top, unnecessary supplemental
instructions, no cancel buttons. The task dialog does not provide
additional information and only makes a simple task (deciding yes/no,
security confirmation) more complex.
Suggestion: Do not use task dialog, revert to previous dialog, or use
"Revert"/"Don't revert" buttons similar to next example below.
Save changes in TortoiseMerge:

Issues: Same as above and also differs from "usual" dialogs for unsaved changes.
Suggestion: Use "save changes" dialog like Windows Notepad:

or revert to previous dialog.
So just use the buttons "Save", "Don't save" and "Cancel" and a main
instruction. Make sure that the buttons also have access keys, in
particular "N" for "Don't save".
Thanks in advance, the current dialogs are a bit difficult (in the
sense that it takes longer to understand them and find the right
option) to use.
Best regards,
Florian
