Good idea. But some comments on your screenshot:

* the wording is a little bit unclear. it doesn't mention that
  if an action which is not checked for autoclose forces the dialog
  to stay open and prevent the autoclose
* local operations can also have warnings and errors

From what I remember, you wanted this because the 'add' you did locally
did not autoclose the dialog. But in 1.6, adding files won't even show a
dialog anymore. So maybe this improvement is not really necessary.
