Read Only VI/Control - Abort Save operation on pressing Esc or Click window close

Status: New

I have the hadit of pressing Ctrl+Shift+S (Save All) which is annoying while working with Read only VIs. We always get a pop-up enabling us to save the VI in a different place or with a different name. As a result we get the browse window to Save the VI with a different name or in different path. This happens on clicking OK (which make sense) but also on click Window close button/ESC key

My suggestion is to continue the save operation only on clicking OK and abort the operation when the user click the window close button/ESC key. This would be more meaningful and would make more sense to the way the Save operation is handled.

I am also fine with adding a Cancel option along with the OK button.
