We really should do away with the ‘Save’ button when authoring things. Every creative computing surface should auto save the content its working on. When I worked on an editor many years ago, there were some performance penalties related to CPU cycles and disk that made ‘auto save’ an expensive operation, but I bet those considerations have been wiped out by the latest advances. I understand why we should have a button like ‘name this document’ or ‘name the file’, but why should we be doing ‘save’ in 2015, 40 odd years into the PC revolution? Makes no sense.
And I’m not even talking about throwing away the ‘file’ concept. That’s a story for another day….
