Tab Save/SaveAll fix maybe??

Imagine the following situation: You have a lot of editors open. One of them is modified (or maybe you're not sure if any are modified). Unfortunately, it's not the current one, and the modified one is not visible in the row of tabs at the top of the screen. You now either have to scroll the tab list1 or use the open files list2 to get to the tab and hit "Save".
Wouldn't it be easier to just hit Ctrl-Shift-S to "Save all"? Wouldn't it make sense for that option to be enabled then?
Besides, I've never seen a multi-document interface that didn't allow you to "Save all" if there's only one document modified. (I've seen some take the easy route and never disable "Save all", though)
Of course, I might not even notice, since the only time I ever need to save anything is right before a build, when it happens automatically ;).
1) And possibly guess which way to scroll if both directions are possible.
2) Which is rather small, at least for me. The project view is usually more important to me.
Pecan:
Note that the left hand editor tab has been modified, but neither
save nor save all is enabled, because I right clicked on an unmodified
editor/tab.
This is because modified>1 is false
thanks

Imagine you have two or three modified... you don't want to do this. It is russian roulette.

Imagine you actually want to (*gasp*) save all your changes, but the only way to make sure there isn't a lone unmodified tab is to scroll through and look at all the tabs...
thomas:
What's the problem? If you have two or more modified documents and you really want to save all, you can just use "save all".
But you should know that "all" means "more than one". If "one" and "all" is the same, you can save several documents when in fact you don't want to do that.
