CvPcb has a Save command (complete with disk icon).  Only it doesn’t do that.  
(It simply writes the changes back to eeschema.)

If it were a dialog, I’d say that’s not good.  But this is CvPcb, where you 
could easily spend an hour making associations (hitting save every few 
minutes), only to have your machine and/or Kicad go down with all your changes. 
 That’s borderline horrific.

I don’t like the idea of blind-saving the eeschema document, but I think that 
would be better than what we have now.

Another idea would be to trigger an auto-save for each CvPcb save.  It’s not 
ideal because the user may think that there aren’t any changes in their 
eeschema file and therefore ignore the auto-save warning when restarting.

Yet another idea would be to foist the decision on the user with a “Save your 
schematic?” dialog every time you save in CvPcb.  That’s pretty hard to love, 
but with Orson’s new KIDIALOG we could at least have a “don’t ask me again” 
checkbox.  Maybe that’s not so bad….

Thoughts?
