Stefan Tauner,
You have a point. Maybe we should just get rid of the "save
project" button in the toolbar, and have (new) (open layer) (revert
all). I worry that having the "save layer" button may annoy too many
people by accidentally overwriting their files. Or we could always keep
the save project, but use a separator like you mentioned.... (new) (open
layer) (revert) separator (save project).
Preferences?
