The current Save Changes dialog tends obscure the image. If users would be damn sure about closing a window with unsaved changes every time, there would be no need for asking back. So the user should be able to see _what_ he's about to save or discard. The image itself is likely to be much more informative than filename and "changes from the last x minutes". BTW, from my own experience, hitting Save when the prior version was actually better and something to be kept is much more of a danger than not saving something you wanted to keep. Now that I write about it, another idea comes to my mind: The Save Changes window could have a toggle to display the last saved version. The dialog is very closely tied to the image window, but still presented as its own window. Transforming the image window into a Save Changes window is as clear as you can get about the relation. One can get rid of the visual noise of a dialog with titlebar and border and avoid obscuring the image in one go. So this removes unnecesary elements from screen, something that I think is quite helpful if you deal with several image windows. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Design for Free Software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
