Add Save button to Mantid UI

[Samuel Jackson]

Suggested by Stewart Parker. We have buttons above the workspace list that load, delete, group and sort workspaces, but curiously not one for saving. I talked to Nick about this as it's a very visual change and he seemed to be in agreement.

To test:

• Open several workspaces
• With none selected click Save, nothing should happen
• With one selected click Save, the SaveNexus algorithm window should be shown with the selected workspace selected in the algorithm window
• With multiple selected click Save, this should ask for a folder and save each workspace in that folder with a filename identical to the workspace name

I had a quick look at this too and while the functionality does what it says I think we have an opportunity to clear up some consistency problems. At the moment the "Group" button is enabled/disabled depending on the context. However, none of the other buttons do this. I think it would be nice if both "Delete" and "Save" were only activated if there is an active selection.

Also, this is not techincally anything to do with this ticket but it's sufficiently small and targeted that I don't think it deserves its own ticket. When you have a WorkspaceGroup loaded and you click on it, the "Group" button turns to "UnGroup" with a capital "G" - this looks odd. Can we lowercase the "G"?

I had a go at this and found I was not happy about the selection of directory/folder in the save dialog box 'choose' is an unsual word for such a dialog box and there seem to be no way to browse for the choice of save folder.

This occurred when I selected two workspaces in a group.

I have changed the window title to better reflect what the user is doing at this point and renamed the accept button to "Select".

Additions to testing:

• Ensure Save and Delete buttons are only enabled when at least one workspace is selected
• Ensure grouping and ungrouping still works as intended
