> Please try this to see if you like it better than the current save dialog. I've been using it for a few days and it seemed to work fine. In my workflow I always press the "changes" button before saving anyway, so this saves time.

I, too, always end up pressing Changes and Save together (and, often,
History so I can see what my prior version included), so this seems
good.  But...

What is this?  Is this the new "(I)gnore" option on the menu?  When I
want to ignore a particular change, what I always did was leave the
Changes list open and, after saving, simply click "install" on the
change I wanted to ignore.

Hmmmm....  Ok, so this is to support the new Ignore option.  I don't
think I like this -- because a regular part of _reviewing_ is being
able to make a tweak fix!  If you can't remove a leftover "self halt"
or make any other fixes then what's the point of reviewing it in this
fashion?  I'll have to close the dialog, make the change, and then
re-click the Save button -- which is quite a few more gestures than
what we have today.

What if we just made the save button open up the Save dialog *as well
as* the Changes dialog?
