Hi -

I can only recoment that you take a little time to learn "driving"
GIMP through one of the two scripting languages that have full API
access - you can do it either iwth a Python console or a scheme
console.

Python, in particular,  will give you very flexible and easy ways to
"save all open images to a folder using this name pattern". After
exploring the possibilities interactively, you can put together what
you found out works best in your workflow and create a script or
plug-in to do that automatically.


Otherwise, if you want to formalize these feature requests, open them
properly  at bugzilla.gnome.org - people will forget about them on the
list.
