Feedback- on closing dialog: save/don't save/ cancel

Hello,
 
I’d like to report a UI issue affecting workflow efficiency. In the file closing dialog, the button order Save / Don’t Save / Cancel is fixed and does not follow the native system conventions (Windows/macOS).
Archicad is the only program that use don't save/ cancel/ save order option buttons.
This often leads to accidental clicks, especially on Don’t Save, due to muscle memory when working fast.
 
It would be very helpful if:
• the button order matched the native OS UI standards, or
• users could customize the order via the Work Environment.
 
Thank you for your attention and for developing a great tool that I use daily in architectural practice.

Totally agree. Having don't save under save is illogical and does lead to accidental clicks.
