I'm most emphatically NOT using "close program" to reach a save dialog.

And in my biased opinion, "close after X" should not close if X generates an error. In that scenario, the program should abort the "close" instruction and instead display the error, so the user has a chance to react to it. I don't think that's an outrageous or even unusual request.

Heck, I'd even be happy with a way to disable "close when done" entirely in the preferences - set it once instead of being vulnerable to slip-ups Every. Single. Time.
Hmm, I think I see what you mean. FWIW I don't believe "close when done" should be an option in the average UI toolkit (together with Save and Exit).
