[Bf-funboard] "Quit without saving changes?"/"Save changes?" popup...

[William Reynish]

It is a very good idea to have a confirmation box when
closing Blender. I have closed it by accident when
trying to maximize/minimize the window several times!
I can not imagine it would be that hard to implement,
since as you say, it is already there when you press
the Q key. I think everyone will welcome this small
addition.

I prefer the "Quit without saving changes" idea by the
way. It's the norm, and it's good.
