"Open" instead of "Save" in directory selector about deltachat-desktop HOT 10 CLOSED

But maybe a better option would be "Select".

Yes, I think "Select" or "Select Folder" would also be suitable.
I understood "Save" in such a way that the files are saved in the selected directory.
The directory is already open at this point, so in my opinion "Open" wouldn't make any sense.

I was about to comment the same thing as @raiden-social last comment. It should be "Select directory/folder" or something of this line IMO.

Perhaps in this case the "Save" button in the backup directory selection window should also be changed to "Select Folder"?

Not sure what is meant exactly, but at least i can say that there are "Cancel" and "Open" buttons in the "Export Secret Keys" window. Probably there should be "Save"

Yes, that is exactly what I meant.

Currently it exports 2 files so "open directory" is correct. we can replace the label of the button, though not sure if that is the perfect solution, but let's do that.

But the directory is already open. The two files also have to be saved?

the dialogs purpose is to select a directory

Hmm, I thought that the button gives the command to save the files in this directory and not to open it, because it is already open? The dialog for backup is the same.

Then probably it's better to leave it "Open". Otherwise a user could think that "Save" means "save in the current dir". But maybe a better option would be "Select".
