I think this is a really bad idea. It's inconvenient to manually save changes. Currently you have to scroll to the top. At least in Google Docs you can use CTRL-S. I much prefer your earlier suggestion of just keeping the last 30 snapshots. If we're going to get rid of auto-save, I think we should make it more convenient to manually save and have reminders to save. I used to use the notebook for tutoring and would loose work a lot and it was really annoying. This would just make things worst. > Please try/test. > > -- William > > On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 6:29 AM, kcrisman <kcris...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I definitely agree with those who would keep snapshot.
