Couldn't the engine let the IDE know that a stack needs to be saved? I can't think of any other program I use where it's my responsibility to ensure I save any changes I make. It really makes LC look outdated.
I think there's a global property in the IDE that indicates whether a stack needs saving or not. I guess I'll have to change my scripts to set it.
