In D4, the "Save All" button is right above the "Run" button. It's now second nature to click "Save All" then "Run". Actually, I hit the "Save All" button *all the time*! I sometimes think I'm obsessive about it. I'm going to wear that part of my monitor out! Other comments: 1. It would be really nice if there were a "Save All" hot-key. Anyone know of one? 2. I have heard others mention that the "auto save" options saved *after* compiling! IMHO, that is ridiculous! The only thing I can figure is that they are trying to circumvent the "cant undo after save" thing. If it doesn't compile, you might want to undo? Oh well, I'm off topic again...
