Thanks Felix,

I tried your suggestion, but it doesn't work (at least in 3.4.3). When
multiple items are selected in the thumbnail bar, the "Save" menu
option is greyed out (and Ctrl+s does nothing). But even if saving
multiple selected images did work, I think it would be more
discoverable to add a "Save all" menu entry under the File menu.

Cheers,
