I would like to suggest to change two labels or titles in the Explorer sample:
There are two Icons: "From File" and "To File". Since these two icons are reading and writing to "Local Storage", my suggestion is:
a) Change "From File" to "From Local Storage" or "From Local File"
b) Change "To File" to "To Local Storage" or "To Local File".

The word "Local" is essential to emphasis it's reading and writing "Off-line".

Thanks!

I'm all for clarity in labeling. I'll prefer the short text when I issue my update. Did you notice the tooltips, btw? They elaborate on what the buttons actually do.

There is no tooltip for any of the buttons.

I agree to keep the labels short, but since I didn't see the tooltip, I suggested the label!

Ah ... you didn't see the tooltip because it isn't in the currently deployed ModelExplorer sample ... which predates improvements to the ME template. I'm going to have to update that code "real soon now". Sorry.
