wrong button ordering

[Jeff Fortin Tam]

The "(Add) (Close)" buttons in the "Add new rule" dialog are in the wrong order. From the HIG:

Hi!
Well...
I remember that the most common, should be to the right (unlike Windows).
The question is:
Is it more common to close or add?
Thanks!

Indeed, oftentimes it is the "most common" button on the right, however, in the rest of the cases (and actually, the official guideline it seems) is actually "affirmative button on the right". In our case, Add should be on the right because it is more likely that the user wants to use that instead of cancelling the whole operation (low probability), AND it is the "affirmative" action.

On that note... shouldn't the Close button in that dialog be a Cancel button instead?

Uhm... You "Close" that window :O Not "Cancel" the window or "Cancel" an operation ;)
I will change the position ;)
Thanks!
