I've got an app, that's using NSOpenPanel to choose folders. We allow the user to choose where they export their files to.

But if they press cancel, we'll just export the file to a default location. It's not a save feature, it's an export feature.

Anyhow, so this I think is misleading. It's not really "cancelling" the export, it's "using the default location".

Can I rename the cancel button, to "Use Default Location" in NSOpenPanel?

Eh, so how would the user cancel then?

A better design would be to open the panel to the default location. Then your export operation exports to the default location by default (heh heh), and you preserve the ability to cancel (thus not violating users' expectations).
