Hi, two suggestions...

1)

Pier has periodic image saving code which you could adapt in the class
PRImagePersistency.
OSProcess is able to fork the image and save it, so as not to interupt
the running image.

2)

Installer mantis fixBug: '5851 Refactor SmalltalkImage saveAs'.

This provides a minor refactoring to provide a confirmation free variant
 SmalltalkImage-#saveAs: <imageName>

This fix is part of the 'LevelPlayingField' image generation script, and
is needed by Launcher.

best regards
