Hi DG,
Thanks for the apology.
Perhaps take a closer look at the information that Matthias provided.
You can use the extension recommended by Matthias to add an autosave
selector option to the notebook's toolbar.
See toolbar image
<https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/blob/master/src/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/nbextensions/autosavetime/icon.png>.
By setting the extension's autosave parameters
<https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/tree/master/src/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/nbextensions/autosavetime#parameters>,
you can customize the behavior of the extension including setting
autosave to 0 as Matthias recommended.
Feel free to open an issue and discuss a PR if after giving the above a
try the extension does not meet your needs.
Thanks,
Carol

Sorry, NOT acceptable. I do NOT want to have to change every
single notebook. Why should I?
I think there are many people who dislike the auto-save option. I
will give you just one example. I like to have a master version of
the notebook, then I want to experiment. When I experiment, I just
DON"T SAVE. So the master remains unchanged. With autosave, my
master notebook will change WITHOUT ME NOTICING. You say, you can
revert to the last manual save, but that's a *useless
feature* because next time I edit the master notebook, I may want
to make a permanent change, after which I will manually save. This
save will now contain both the desired changes as well as the
unwanted one. Now I have lost the ability to revert. It's a
complete mess. Please don't ask me to change my habit, which I
have formed in decades of using computers--not going to happen.
Regardless of whether the Jupyter notebook developers agree or
not, many of us have some very good reasons why we want to turn
off auto-save PERMANENTLY. It should be an easy option and a
user's choice.
Just please make a version of the custom JS file work. Is it too
much to ask? Don't make us conform to the tool, make the tool
conform to what the user wants.
DG,
Perhaps you could take a stab at pulling together a pull request on
Github. Many jupyter developers work very hard on it on their own
time. It's impossible for them to anticipate every use case. And at
any rate, their hard work has culminated in the creation of very
powerful tools that are provided absolutely free as in both beer and
speech. When you stop to think about the lineage of the notebook in
context of Fernado's original "afternoon hack" on the standard python
REPL, it's quite remarkable.
As a user, I've come across the situation you describe. We're all
different in this world, but my firs thought was to use the File menu
to create a copy, work on that, then incorporate any changes into or
overwrite the notebook.
-Paul

Things like this[1] allow you to tweak the save interval.
I believe an autosave interval of 0 (or negative values) disable it.
[1] is only a wrapper around custom.JS that already allows you to
tweak the value.
