Thanks for this, I get paranoid about whether my work is being saved or not, since the timestamp on the file doesn't update.
As a BD newbie I would recommend :
a) The very first thing to do in BD is learn how to save your work, and that BD is behaving as you expect in this respect. I lost several hours work assuming that clicking the Save icon, or pressing Ctrl+F11, was preserving it - when I restarted BD I'd lost it all (if I'd known what Crutledge knew I might have recovered it
). On another occasion, I couldn't reopen a saved file, and BD wouldn't then run properly - it seemed to have been corrupted somehow, so I had to reinstall it. Sorting these things out asap can save a lot of heartache.
b) In Settings, select the - "show "file not saved" warning" - option; it's a useful safeguard.
HarryT's tutorial suggests turning off AutoRefresh in Element Browser - personally, I've found it easier to leave it on.
