"Saving" a project -- when does it happen?
If you're in the middle of creating a project and don't want a power outage to erase it from memory you click File/Save and save the project while giving it a name.
So far so good. (And a smart thing to do, and often.)
But if you then click on File/New or File/Open you get a little question-box that asks, "Do you want to save this project?"
Even if you "save" the project ten times, when you click "New" or "Open" you'll be asked if you want to save the project.
Why?

The scratch team didn't add something to check if it had been saved just before maybe? You can save multiple times without changing anything.

That always bugged me... but it's good for people who want to be absolutely sure about saving.

That's true! 
Really, really, really sure.
Wouldn't it be useful if Scratch automatically saved one's work to a temporary file every few minutes?

Scratch 2.0 may have that.

Re: "Saving" a project -- when does it happen?
What's with the title of this topic though?
Because saving happens when you click that disk thing up in the top left corner of the screen, but that's not what you're really asking.
