I agree. In fact, I believe Protel should never autosave any file unless it's been changed. I quit using Autosave because of this. I routinely have 20+ page schematics and other design documents open and actually rely to some extent on the file time/date stamp to track my work. I never save a file unless I know I've changed something or Protel prods me that I've made a change and do I want to save it? Not such a big deal for me, I have gotten into the habit of using 'Alt-F-S' after every little operation I perform (sort of a "mental breakpoint" anyway). But it's still an annoyance.
