I just plugged my USB stick into a Mac and got this message.
I found it rather ambiguous.
- I’ll click “No” if it means “No, I’d like you to do it for me.”
- I’ll click “Yes” if it means, “Yes, I still want to proceed even though I’ll have to to go to some extra effort.”
After much thought, I guessed that the dialog simply forgot to tell me that some automated action failed to complete, so I clicked “Yes”. A manual configuration page appeared.
I think they could have taken a couple other approaches that would have been less confusing:
- Label each choice in a way that indicates what will happen: “Settings could not be detected automatically. You may configure the device manually.” [Cancel] [Continue]
- Take me directly to the configuration window, and have a header at the top of it with the same explanation. Then I could configure as needed or simply close the window. If you’re going to pop up a window anyway, is there any reason to suppress a second window until the first one confirms that I really want the second?
