"Import" and "Export" are unclear labels #18

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

A little experimentation shows that "Export" means "Pull from Sites to local 
machine" and "Import" means "Push from local machine to Sites"; but it wasn't 
initially clear.

I'm note sure how to fix this: sticking "Export from Sites" on the button would 
make it too large. Perhaps "Download" and "Upload" would be clearer?

That's fair.  We'll experiment with some better labels.

Download and Upload are much better and will fit easily in the button text

The labels "import" and "export" are really ambiguous.
For example, for me "to import" means to get something from outside (remote) 
and to
put it inside (local).
So I tried to make the backup with "import" and I didn't understand why it 
wasn't
working.

I vote for the "Download" "Upload" convention.

I had doubt about what buttom to press... "Export from" and "Import to" are not 
clear to me (it's not more usuar 'Export to' and 'Import from'???)
Upload & Download are better labels!
