Bug Description
When an error is raised, a dialog is presented with buttons labeled "Close" and "Ignore". I often read that and subconsciously hit "Close" to close the dialog and get a nasty surprise because the application exits. I'd like to see the text on the buttons changed to something less ambiguous like "Close Application" and "Ignore Error".

In my situation, the error was raised when trying to open a project in which a file had a lock on it. When I regard the action of 'open a project' as a transaction, the text "ignore Error" on that button would imply to me that the application will continue towards the 'normal' end of the transaction. In my situation this would mean (IMHO) that the project is opened, files can be seen in the panels, etc. Just the file with the lock should not be editable, probably.
But what currently appears to happen after clicking the "Ignore" button, is a 'roll-back' type of action towards the 'normal' begin of the transaction taking place. Result: empty panels.
Of course I don't know about other error situations, but in my situation, I think 'Ignore Error' would not be the best possible choice of wordings. Just my two cents...
