I had sql once but you moved me to xml. Is there an easy way to go back to
SQL?
sql saves uncommitted transactions?
It seems simple enough to have attributes in XML to hold the uncommitted
information beside the original information, so you can always save the entire
state of the application.
But even without that, having a strong indication on the tab that has pending
changes would be much more ergonomic and prevent data loss.

I'm assuming you are using XML. In that case the "Save" button does appear
from being greyed out and you are indicated on close. Of course this is global
and not individual indications that you would like.
The SQL database will save as you go.
I'm in the other camp where I *don't* want to auto-save. This has saved me
numerous times where I make a big mistake and it's a simple close without
saving and reopening which is a littler easier and quicker than opening a
previous backup and renaming files.

Hi that is expected behavior with xml, have you tried the database format?
