Sometimes I so wish we had a wizard dialog when entering paint mode that guided the user through some missing steps such as unwrap, define canvas image, size etc. Something to keep in mind for sure. There are still people who don't know how to set up the paint system correctly and there really is no easy way to convey all the missing steps in an organized way.<br>

For example, it currently lets you paint on contexts (like generated images) which don't even support saving. It also lets you paint when there is no save-location setup, and it lets you quit when there are paint changes unsaved. I think it would be better behaved if it only let you paint when there was a save-context setup, and it integrated with the "prompt on quit" machinery to avoid letting you quit with uv-paint changes unsaved / unpacked.</div>
