"Save and Exit" button comes up in the uploader modal-dialog. This modal
dialog is like a shadow box and the entire background including the "Exit
and Clear survey" button is disabled, so the user won't be able to close the
survey. We could change the button name to something else, maybe "save and
continue"?

Yes, this is one of the couple things on my list, and no doubt its a must
have feature. I'll try to make sure we implement this in time for the beta.

While playing with the uploader, I came across a scenario where the "save
and exit" button didn't work. But I haven't been able to reproduce the same.
If anyone comes across this bug, please let me know.

Thanks,
