My point, in a bit of reverse humor, was that it was a mistake to have 2 kinds
of save, in several senses, and my issue is one of them. Surely all the
transactions and quotes take much longer to save than my tab list, so I do not
see any up side to having two kinds of save -- just more code, less function.

I don't know about that but it takes a substantial amount of time to wait for
GnuCash to (possibly) save the data file, save the .gcm file, shut down and
then re-open the data file with all the register windows that were not closed
and all the reports that were not closed, vs (possibly) save the data file,
save the .gcm file and then refresh the program window. In the bug report the
point is made by a developer that the program flow is different when the data
is not in an .xml format, but a user doesn't care about that detail. If there
was another symbol similar to the asterisk next to the data file name that
indicates unsaved file data to indicate unsaved .GCM details, the user would be
aware that some display formatting details are not saved. I think that would
address your original concern.

How much code is saved by having 2 different definitions of save?

AFAIK, certain dynamic configuration details such as which account register
tabs are open, column widths in those account registers, and settings for
reports which are left open are only updated when GnuCash is manually closed.
I have proposed a button to manually save these details in Bug 729889.

Windows 11 seems to reboot itself regularly for some update, when gnucash has
been running a while, so it should be auto saved. When I restart gnucash and
accept that the lock file was still there, it has the tabs of a much earlier
time. Why does auto save not save the tabs open?
