New Capture UX leads to too many clicks and confusing language

Hi, the new Delete button to close the main capture window and the excessive clicks necessary to close it after saving an image locally aren't welcome. Please make this a simpler process - Take screenshot, save locally, close all windows with one click. And choose other word instead of 'delete' since the local file isn't getting deleted.

OK, good news - we're aware of that, and we're actively working to make it better.

Here is the current plan:
- Save As... saves a "copy" of the file. (you are correct, the copy is not being deleted)
- the "Capture Saved" confirmation dialog (which has another "Delete" button and "Continue Editing") will be replaced by a Notification.
- the "Delete" button in your Capture's window's left corner refers to deleting the original capture from the upload queue. We chose the word "delete" specifically because a file (the one we made for your capture and is represented in the upload queue) is being deleted *without undo*. We are keeping this instance of the Delete button.
