Nice idea.
However I bet changing "Save to file" from append to creat() will bite 
someone.  Not that I'm arguing against it, just might be worth
considering for an interim release or so:
	maybe add temporary codebefore the O_TRUNC or whatever to
	warn or confirm ?  (but as we all hate "Are you sure", let
	the "Are you sure" also announce "This warning will be
	removed next release" - Just an idea ?

Cheers,
