The Save option could have a submenu, with an item for each open file. It could be "Save ..." and open a dialog box prompting the user to select the files to save. > A generic "Save All" might work, but would be potentially dangerous if called > by accident (what if you specificly did *not* want to write one file, as you > don't like the results of some editing and don't want to overwrite your good > version), Then you should be able to undo the operation.

It would be nice if it could save unnamed images. Obviously it would have to give the image a name in the filesystem, but that could just be a scratch name until the image is explicitly named. That way, the unnamed image could persist over multiple gimp sessions. I'm not trying to argue with you, Kirk.
