Hello stindlpeter,

Sorry that my message sounded so impatient.

I do not agree that PowerPro changing the file date is wrong.
If I open a file in notepad, then close it without saving,
the date stays the same, but notepad is not set to autosave
when a file is closed. PowerPro Notes are meant to be saved
automatically when they are closed. I guess you are asking that
when PowerPro closes a Note, it should not save if you did not
edit it, but that would require extra code to either:
(a) compare current text with the file text, to decide whether
a save is necessary
(b) switch a flag or something when you make an edit, so the
closing routine will know whether to save the file. That would
have to be done for every keypress on the note, just in case
it is the first keypress.

So I think the current method, always saving the note on close,
is probably the most efficient. It is only a problem if you rely
on the file date for backing up.
Does that mean a different backup rule for the Notes folder?
Maybe you will find that backing up files when their size changes,
instead of when only the date changes, will be a good plan not only
for Notes but also for other things you backup.
