I would like to see one more option on that list:<div><ul><li>Save to current selected layer</li></ul><div>This would write straight back to the current selected layer. I don't always want a new layer when doing things like buffers etc.</div>

</div>Actually I think there's no simple answer what is better. I prefer to use<br>
memory layers as long as it's possible. So I'd prefer to see three options:<br>
<br>
- save to memory layer [...name...] and add to the canvas<br>
- save to file [...path...] and add to the canvas<br>
- save to file [...path...] and don't add to the canvas<br>
<br>
Btw. When saving to files, kinda garbage collector would be extremely usable:)<br>
