I agree with Bert, "explicit saving is the better trade off".

This is a great feature request, though Bert's and Kathleen's conclusion seems right to me.

We should bear in mind that unless we implement Steve's request, Etoys defies the Sugar UI guidelines (IMHO.)

Eventually, it would be nice for learners if Sugar and Etoys 'keep' behaviours were harmonized. One possibility might be to treat each project as a separate Activity, though I won't post that as a feature request, as I haven't thought it through, and I suspect it invites large challenges both for engineering and for usability.
