Beta 7 has a GUI oversight that could cause users to
lose data when creating a new outline.

When you create a new outline, then you click File >
Exit without saving it, this form appears:

"Confirmation: The active project has not been saved.
Save it? Yes / No / Cancel"

If you click Cancel, the form closes and you're
returned to the main window. That's correct.

If you click Yes, a file window appears ("Choose a
filename to save your project") with two buttons: Save
and Cancel.

If you enter a filename and click Save, PDesk saves
your file and closes. That's also correct.

However, if you click the file window's Cancel button
(or its "close" icon), PDesk exits without saving the
file. This is not correct.

When you close the file window without saving a new
file, you should be returned to the main window---even
though you previously clicked "Exit". Why? Because the
user may have decided to make more changes before
saving and quitting. (This is standard GUI behavior.)
