Copy > Pause: Surely "resume" comes after "pause"? Why "Start" instead?

Post by *harrismail »

I've just noticed that when you start, say, a large file copy and you click the "pause" button to temporarily pause the process, the button to resume says "start"... surely it should say "resume"? as "start" suggests the process would/could restart from the beginning?
That's what I initially thought - I don't think it was previously like this. I know it's only nitpicking but thought I'd mention it...

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

That thread is a few years old! Am I going mad or has it always been “Start” after “Pause”??

I’m sure it never used to say “Start”

Puzzled 😕

Yes, it's always been Start. ;)

So it surely must be time for it to be changed to “Resume”?? 8)
