Yes, both times.
ALTERNATIVE If (and only for that reason) the save/load process gets stuck for (e.g.) min. 5 seconds, and there is no way of availability-checking of the network connection in advance, then we might simply bring up a message box that says something like "File XYZ is being saved which requires some time. Please wait ..." (not final, of course).
Possible, though prolly not for 3.3 (string/UI freeze). Additionally, we may not know in advance, how long these operations may take (it's not always transparently retrievable information, if e.g. a file resides on a network volume). Given your answer, I'd tend to not touch this for 3.3, and maybe work on a better solution post-3.3.
Cancel is optional
Even impossible, with the current code. ;) Thanks for your insight anyway, -- Thorsten
