This is fai…

Hi, although it’s an old entry, I hope someone is still looking at it… I’m also interested in a reliable way to get noticed when a document is about to be closed. My use case is that I want to offer the user a dialog by which he can choose to upload the image to a server. Is there a reliable, pla…
