Matplot lib got us again!!! saving is no longer toolbar.save but toolbar.save_figure. I have fixed locally. will push one I finish fixing the printing issue (or later tonight whichever comes first).

Have fixed as per above. the toolbar worked because save is a part of the default toolbar provided by Matplotlib and hence handled directly by it. The pop up menu had to make the call directly and was now wrong.

Fix works on both mac and PC from instalable.
Something that may need more testing (and a possible ticket) is that it seems many formats are possible to save to (looks like coming from host environment?). Tried a couple which worked but then jpeg save poped up an error on mac that it was not supported. (jpeg worked on pc). As I say - needs more testing and if appropriate a new ticket.
