Please consider using the phrase:

Shall I save this file?

instead of "The file ... is not saved". 

The future subjunctive indicates that there is doubt as to how to proceed.

The current message indicates the possibility that the file might not have an 
afterlife once it has been deleted or that it is has never been saved: I do not 
think that either of these possibilities is universally true.

Also, please consider the use of "Trash" instead of "don't save". The current 
arrangement does not imply that anything bad will happen if you do not save the 
file, while the word "Trash" tells us more explicitly that the changes will be 
trashed and, being shorter, could then be written in a larger font to compel 
the user's attention to this undesirable  outcome.

Finally, may I urge that the **save** and **trash** options should be placed as 
far apart as possible to minimize the opportunities for pressing the wrong 
button?

Thanks!
