    I said none of that. I don’t know why you’d assume any of the above from an obviously simplified laymans’ explanation of the concept of a download. I’m well aware of this, but my target audience may not be. Write for your audience, not for you.

      But why are you focusing on the download aspect? The subject at hand is an icon for saving, and saving can happen as in those several scenarios, if not more.

      So, do you think a download icon like that fits them all? Especially those that don’t involve your local disk at all?

      Let’s stick to the subject, above injecting tangential technical correction asides. 👍

        *Because *I replied to a comment that says “that’s a download button”.

        I made no other comment, and what I said is correct.

        I’m blocking you to stop you from wasting any more of my time because you can’t read.

          lol, but when they said “that’s a download button”, they meant that it doesn’t make sense as a save button, for those reasons I mentioned.

          You can’t read.
