File > Save (Ctrl+S), Save As and Export .nest, with Save and Save As on
the toolbar. Save writes to the file saved to this session, else asks
for one in the nest's folder; a failed save says why, keeps the nest
unsaved and points to Save As. One save or export runs at a time, a
nest cannot be closed while one is under way, and the nest Auto Nest
is working on is not written, checked again after the file picker.
Closing a nest with unsaved changes asks Save / Don't Save / Cancel, as
the WinForms nest window does; Exit asks about each unsaved nest in
turn, showing it, and reads the list again after each answer, since
Auto Nest can finish while a question is open. Cancel, or a save that
does not happen, keeps the app open; an unsaved nest still being
nested stops Exit with how to stop Auto Nest.
Nest load warnings are shown after opening, one dialog at a time and
scrolling when long; for nests opened from the command line they appear
once the window opens, and --snapshot only notes them in the status.

Each open nest gets a tab along the bottom of the window, above the
status bar: the shown one is white with a blue line, a dot marks unsaved
Auto Nest results, x closes it and + opens another. Inside a tab, Plates
and Drawings tabs sit at the top of the left panel (Drawings lists each
drawing's nested and required quantity) and the plate header with
first/previous/next/last sits over the plate view. Each nest keeps its
own plate and zoom when you switch.
File > Open takes several files, and a file already open switches to its
tab. File > Close and Close All, View > Next/Previous Nest and
Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab switch or close nests. This version cannot save,
so closing a nest with Auto Nest results, or exiting with any, asks first
(Cancel is the default). Other nests can be opened and viewed while Auto
Nest runs; the nest being nested cannot be closed until it finishes.
Several nest paths on the command line open in tabs.
