Can you expand on what you mean by 'any of this'? > From what I've seen, users only expect one thing: a way to reliably > save their work. Yes, and to me it's equally important to give the users the ability to save the document regardless of whether or not the app *thinks* the document is modified (which is often wrong in some circumstances). > A "force save" function could be useful in some unusual situations, but > it's only interesting to experts. Nobody is talking about "forced save" here. You still have to hit Ctrl-S to save the document. We are talking about always *enabling* the save action.
