Yes, often requested feature and maybe somewhen someone will start to
implement it somehow ;-).
My motivation is still not very high because I like the open file
dialog and all other things I can do on the command line. Of course,
this is only my personal preference. Just want to point why I didn't
implement it yet. Another reason could be that it is probably a lot of
work ;-).

No. I think the green tab label colour as well as the green open files
list item are enough.

I don't know where but I saw the Save as dialog when using Save on a
read only file and I think this is a good idea. Other opinions are
welcome.
