Incorrect Text in Close Dialoge Box #29

When I click close, it warns that all data will be lost. It should say soemething like "all unsaved data will be lost."

Alternatively, RIVET could automatically write the file after completing, and this dialogue could be eliminated altogether.

Original comment by M L (GitHub: mlesnick):

I don't feel very strongly about this, but a potential solution to the issues you mention is to save the file with the same name in the same directory, but with a different extension (say ".riv").

Original comment by Matthew Wright (GitHub: mlwright84):

Fixed the close dialog message in commit ef70cb2.

I don't think RIVET should write a file automatically, because if it did, then the user might not know the location of the file. I think it's better for the user to actively save the file, so the user knows which file contains the calculated data.

I suppose in the future we could implement some sort of auto-recovery feature that would save the calculation in case RIVET exited abnormally, but I don't think that is a priority now.
