Hey Devs...so if I go into the menu to Quit with an unsaved map open, it prompts me with a warning that I'll loose unsaved game time...as it should.

However, if I go into the menu to Load another save while I have an unsaved map open, it does not warn me.

Is this already in the works for 1.1? I did not find this mentioned in Known Issues or any other bug reports.

If not can it be? IMHO, it should warn players of the potential loss even when choosing Load.

From a modders perspective an extra dialogue box before every time i click load sounds like a nightmare.

From a player of heavily modded maps, I often have a "cheat-mode" or "creative-mode" map for prototyping builds and what-have-you that I then create blueprints and take to my "real" playthrough where I put them to use. I find myself switching back and forth quite a bit and have actually lost game time and build progress by not being careful. Warnings should be mildly annoying--there's a reason for that.
