Could perhaps a "use, then discard" button work here?

I agree that dialog needs a rethink. It should really have a Cancel option too. But then that is five options which is too many overwhelming the user. Perhaps a checkbox option or two might help or something. Or maybe the main dialog needs more options than just "OK" and "Cancel"...
Currently there is:
- "Save Changes" (generate with new settings, save the changes)
- "Discard Changes" (generate with reverted settings, discarded changes)
- "Don't Save Yet" (generate with new settings, don't save the changes)
I think Discard Changes in it's current form is redundant if I added a Cancel button. As there is already a Revert option on the main dialog.
And maybe "Don't Save Yet" needs to sleep with the fishes in favour of this new option. You either made temporary changes you want to discard, or if you are wanting to keep either this iteration or some subsequent tweak to it then just go ahead and Save the changes.
So including your suggestion I think the options a user needs to have (ignoring how they get represented in the UI for the moment)...
- Generate cover, saving changes
- Generate cover, discard changes afterwards
- Cancel
Thoughts?
