I'm assuming you are using XML. In that case the "Save" button does appear from being greyed out and you are indicated on close. Of course this is global and not individual indications that you would like.
The SQL database will save as you go. I'm in the other camp where I *don't* want to auto-save. This has saved me numerous times where I make a big mistake and it's a simple close without saving and reopening which is a littler easier and quicker than opening a previous backup and renaming files.
