Actually I would vote against removing, this button saves a click.
And sometimes I want to only past and save, resolve rest later, i would

You can call it "save &mark...", but I would like to see it.

Let me remind that when saving file marked as need resolve Having only
one dialog instead of two (Save?, Mark?) is preffered from my side.
