Hi Ian,
In most document-based applications on Mac OS X, you will find a
16x16 px icon in the title bar. If the document is saved the icon is
bright and draggable. If the document is not saved, the icon is
grayed out and is not draggable. This is a very useful feature, that

Actually there are three features:
The dark blob.
The document icon next to the title, that can be dragged to other apps/
folders.
Command-clicking on the title itself to see a dropdown menu with the
folder path to the document, select a folder to go to that folder in
the Finder. That last

Another odd omission in MacRev - the ability to allow third party add
on system stuff like DEFAULT FOLDER to work in file dialogs.
These show up in every Macintosh app known to man except Revolution.
It really messes up my workflow when this utility doesn't show, and

How right you are, and how I've been stepping on my own all these years.
There is a setting field, in the control panel for DF, for Excluded
Applications that has been set for a long time. Guess which app is
there?
I guess I was testing the defaultFolder property once (because DF

Yes, but you'll also find that the red blob shows a darker circle in
the middle *as well*, so that you can see visually if a document has
been saved or not.
