i like the option of "saving the current file" on any of these actions, it just gives the user a choice, and some comfort in their decision (1 click, like currently, but a lot less scary). but as long as whatever is done is consistant, i think it will be successful.<br><br>I also like the idea of having a backup saved that is seperate to the "quit.blend" which works behind the scenes, and works when files are changed between each other, but not on quit. it is a less intrusive way of offering protection if things do go wrong. and I garentee users will accidentally click the wrong thing even if a dialogue box is offered. by having a user-proof behind the scenes backup you can delight these people (yep even if it is there fault).<br><br>Cheers again.<br><br>Doug Ollivier<br>

I personally agree that its inconsistent to have a dialog when you<br>
select to make a new file, but not when you're opening a separate one.<br>
I strongly disagree that it should spawn a new instance of Blender<br>
however. I find that behavior annoying in any application. If there is<br>
a confirmation box in one spot, it should be in each related spot.<br>
Simple consistency. Not rocket science at all, I think thats the<br>
reason the discussion has started.<br>
<br>
