Currently using 5.1

Apparently all my obsessive saving while I work on a file is completely wasted. Although it will say that the file has been saved when you press Ctrl-S, it doesn't actually save the file until you close out of the programs. Practically speaking, what this means is that if you work on a file for an hour, saving every fifteen minutes, and your computer crashes or requires a forced shutdown of Sigil, all your work over the last hour will be lost.

I'm not sure how you guys can duplicate this event... but it's no happened several times to me. I just wasn't sure that it was behaving as I thought until now.
