So there are these buttons at the top of my worksheets saying "Save", "Save & quit", "Discard & quit". What do they do? Do we need them? Random comments:
It seems to me that right now, "Save & quit" and "Discard & quit" do the same thing: return to the list of active worksheets. For example, I just opened a worksheet, made a tiny little change and hit "Discard & quit". When I reopened the worksheet, the change was visible -- it hadn't been discarded. So is there any actual difference between the two? Should there be? If not, they should be consolidated into one button: "Quit worksheet" or "Close worksheet". If we *do* want those buttons to have different behaviors, then here's an idea: when you open a worksheet, you should actually be working on copy of it, and the original one shouldn't be changed until you hit "Save" or "Save & quit". If you hit "Discard", then the copy is thrown away. Before you hit any of those buttons, the copy should be on the list of active worksheets (in case there is a crash or something like that). Finally, whether those buttons do the same thing or not, their behavior should also be changed as follows: if the list of worksheets is already open in another tab or window (likely to be the case with 3.4.1.rc1, for example), then clicking those buttons saves or discards as necessary, then just closes the current tab/window, and perhaps selects (and refreshes?) the window containing the list of worksheets -- it shouldn't keep the current tab/window open displaying a second copy of the list of worksheets.
