Description
Each "Send to" program has its own save algorithm.
Some workspaces aren't compatible with them and the user only finds this out when they click on the option to send.
It would be better to make a check to see if the save algorithm is compatible when the user right clicks on a workspace. The list of programs the workspace can be sent to would then only be populated with programs that use suitable save algorithms.
The wiki preferences help page should be updated to show this in case the user is confused why it isn't appearing. http://www.mantidproject.org/MantidPlot:_Preferences_Dialog

- Status changed from accepted to verify
- Resolution set to fixed
Changed the original preferences page to now link to all the different sections. (General, Mantid, etc)
I then updated the wiki http://www.mantidproject.org/MantidPlot:_Preferences_Dialog_Mantid
I still need to add details on what Send To does and how to use it.
