Exactly... Witch has bitten me in the ass a few times... Namely the bizare 
confirmation to save a layer mask pops up right exactly before that. That's 
another bizare thing about saving... And since the number of dialogs varies 
between formats has been *click* *click* *click* Close, load "Bah! Mask." How 
often would someone need to save just the mask? How about having a separate 
save option for that in the menu?
