It would be great if dialogs like the "document save" box would be 

application modal dialogs instead of document modal sheets. I hate 

having to play whack-a-mole with all of my save boxes when I have to 

decide if I want to save like 20 billion tables.

And I know not if, save in this, such gift be allowed to man,

That out of three sounds he frame, not a fourth sound, but a star.

Agreed, but I don't understand why I'm asked about every table window anyway, when I've already said that I didn't want to save the parent patcher that they are embedded in.

I guess to be fair there is some good argument for having that kind 

of dialog attached to the document it represents. 10.4 in particular 

is very poor at accentuating the active window.
