Well, we can change the text, what ever makes the most sense. Here's some other ideas:
"Close on Execute" "Lock Document" "Control Document" "Dialog on Top" "Effect Control" "Bulia Only" :)
All wrong, sorry, because they're trying to solve the wrong problem. I see your point about the dialog staying open after OK, but it is very wrong for OK (or Execute) to not close it, no matter what other checkboxes are there! For the always-open dialog, you just need different buttons.
So here's what I propose: replace close/ok/execute buttons with two buttons: Apply and Close (in that order). Remove "pin" checkbox. When live preview is off, make dialog non-modal and allow to change selection at any time; Apply would then just apply to the current selection but not close. When live preview is on, dialog is modal, but you can preview the effect of parameters on the current selection; and when you click Apply it not only applies the effect but _also_ unsets the Live preview, unlocking the dialog to enable new selections.
If someone reqests a button to apply-and-close, a preference option can be added for that.
