Are you using SM2 beta? I had the same behaviour when I was using beta, 
but now that I'm using 2.0, I get asked if I want to save my tabs before 
closing.  If I only have one tab open at the time and want to save it 
for next session, I just open a second blank tab, and then quit.


Using 2.0.1 where I see this most often. I generally want to just shut down and 
not save anything, so I probably checked so don't ask box for normal 
operation. But on the occasion where I want to save, I would hope that I have a 
way to do it manually, other than brute force killing the application. I was 
looking in the File menu for save tabs and quit but it doesn't seem to be there.


Ideally you want SM to do what you want by default and give you a way to do 
something else with a little extra work. Being able to disable asking about tab 
save is good, but I would hope there's a matching way to request saving for a 
special situation.
