minus-squareTheKingBee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 hours agoI haven’t seen that, any examples? I don’t why they’d change that either, just because they don’t know the origin, they still grew up knowing it meant “save.”
minus-squareKojichan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·14 hours agoI remember seeing a program that used something else once, and when I worked in web apps and websites, there was always a debate about what to use. A common one is a folder icon (or a tray) with a download arrow… DESPITE it being used to save locally. Same thing with a cloud with a down arrow. Some other programs used to use the icon for a hard disk, the three circular platters. If I remember the app, Ill give better examples of programs that use other things.
