Hi again,
Attached is a mockup of roughly what I was thinking made in 5 minutes on some website, except I couldn't figure out how to make a warning icon for the infobar and tab label.
I also made a mockup for "deleted/moved on disk" infobar. I'll put a link to avoid spamming the list:
Thanks for doing the mockups. Infobars probably would be better than the status quo, but I think both of the mockups are too complicated. There are too many options IMO.
I'm not sure if 'Close all externally modified files' is worth having and is a safe workflow, certainly it shouldn't include modified documents.
I don't think we need a Close button. Closing the document can be done in the normal way. Or were you planning on disabling normal closing? That would complicate the UI code.

I'm not sure that 'Save as' is needed, the user can use 'File->Save As' if needed. (Resave is a good option though).
