current state of word choice - Save/Export - Load/Import
-
A bit of indecision, and I know this might still be very much a personal opinion type question. But I'll bite: What are some current opinions with the following word choice regarding web page Save/Load functionality. I have a simple comic library html web page/app. Functions to Load or import a json file of your catalog from some other source - be it localStorage, desktop or some cloud location. Then the reverse for saving or export if you will. Are the synonyms just common enough. I am currently leaning toward that Save and Import. When working on the functionalities seperate, but side by side those two words don't gel with me. Save/Load - probably from playstation gaming days. Export/Import feel very remote operations. 2 tier architecture thinking makes these sound correct in my mind. And then localStorage kind of muddies it for me. question rephrased: On a web page you see menu button for "Save" with options local (browser localStorage), desktop and others. and menu button "Import" with similar options. Would these words be jarring for you (as advanced user), or would you prefer to see Save/Load or Import/Export?

I guess this is not much help but any of those options are fine with me. :-D
