 The one point is that is should be short.

 The other is that it should be easy to understand. "image file" is the
 same as "graphic file" it does not add any information, to which kind of
 file would I want to save an image and what is that image file anyway,
 `.img`? So, to where is clear "file". Alternatively we can leave out the
 whole to part. So, we would get "Save display" (my browser also says only
 "Save page", it is clear that it will be file or files on the disk).

 What to save is more difficult. It is "display", "display content",
 "displayed image", "image", "map"? I'm not sure but one word should be
 enough. Current "display" is pretty common word in GRASS describes
 everything related to displaying maps, so it is OK here I would say. On
 the other hand "display" is strange for everybody else.

 "Save image" could be enough?
