Yes, but fact is that it is misleading to many.

And besides that, at least in the Windows world, it is more common to have
it the other way round, i.e. the program would ask somthing like
"Save current file?" Yes/No/Cancel
on actions such as "New capture", "Load file" etc.

What do those Gnome/KDE UI guidelines say about that?
