[Bug 684702] [NEW] unsaved changes lost when cancelling save

 

Public bug reported:

When you hit "quit" when there are unsaved changes, you get a warning
popup.

So you hit "save".

When it asks for the filename, you think: Wait, let's try XYZ. so
instead of saving you want to go back. So you hit "cancel".

Hugin now exists without saving. Ooops.

The warning popup also has a cancel. That will cancel the quit and not
lose your data. That the "cancel" in the "enter filename" would cancel
the save and quit instantly surprised me.

I agree, that in a sense this makes sense, but I can easily imagine that
others would be surprised by this too.
