3.1-RC1

Enhancement request for post 3.1

Quite often when testing, I modify a couple of resources and then close the
workbench without saving anything. In the save dialog, I then need to click the
'Deselect All' and 'Ok' buttons.

I have seen a modified version of a similar dialog with other apps: It offers a
choice of saving 'Selected', 'None', or to 'Cancel' closing. Since all dirty
resources are selected when the dialog pops up, pressing 'Selected' without
changing the selection has the same effect as pressing 'Ok' today.

Such a dialog has the advantage that the usual choices (none, all) are available
with a single click, as opposed to today, where only (all) is single-click.
Also, the modified dialog could spare the '(De)Select All' buttons, making it
cleaner.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
