Actually next to each opened item, there is a save icon you can click 
for each specific unsaved file.

Having a global "Save all" icon would make sense though, if all files 
were already saved (i.e. there is an associated XCF), though it may be a 
pain if there are images with no XCF yet (we can't pop-up file dialog 
for path/name choice for as-many images as there are in the list).

We could show the "Save all" icon only when all images have a XCF 
associated, but then it is a consistency issue. Some people will not 
understand the logics and think it's broken when it doesn't appear. 
Maybe we could just gray it out with a popover text saying "Some images 
have no associated XCF".

Anyway something can be done to improve the workflow, for sure.

Well now, you will know you don't have to "esc", just click the "save" 
icon next to each name in the list. 🙂
