notebook download implies save #895

Yup, in fact ffox also blocks it. So I think we need to find out something else, I don't like to require people to disable their popup blockers... But I have to say, I don't know what a better solution would be. |

In that case, I don't think we can force a save on download. We have to just add a note to the tooltip, that Download/print get the most recently saved version. If we can detect that the document has been edited since last save, then we can do this with a dialog 'Would you like to save changes before downloading?' But I don't think we have a global flag that gets set on any edit. |

Do you just want to change the tooltip and close this one? I would like to set a dirty flag on cell edit, but that's a separate job. It would be nice if the UI could reflect that dirty state also (emacs marks the status area with '**', other editors do similar things). But that's a separate request... I'm OK with closing this one and just editing the tooltip. |

We do have a dirty flag that detect when a cell is run, moved, deleted. We could look at this flag. But you are right that this flag doesn't currently detect if a cell has been edited but not run. But I agree with Fernando that we can't require pop-up blockers to be disabled. I have run into this issue in numerous places in the notebook already. |

I'll close this, and just add a note to the tooltip. Probably not consider that closing the original Issue, though. |
A real fix would be to trigger a save on each of thes actions, which would address ipython#852 closes ipythongh-895
closes #852
Note that this should get some review, as I'm not certain it's the right way to go. This change makes download trigger a save, and the save-success callback triggers the actual download. However, at least on Chrome, the fact that opening the download url is no longer triggered directly by the click action means it can get caught by pop-up blockers.
