Since I didn't suggest you should count since file open, I see no reason to consider the problems in such an idea. I agree it wouldn't help. So I'm glad I didn't suggest it. :-) My suggestion is to measure, per document, from the last save time, for that document. I also disagree that it should be measured from the first time the doc was dirtied. I think it's far more useful to measure from the first time the doc was dirtied *since the last save*. Probably that's what you meant? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
