scratch not asking you to save when you haven't changed anything
sometimes, scratch will not ask you to save when nothing has been changed, but only after a couple of seconds. So my suggestion is to take away that function, and, if you haven't changed anything, scratch will just quit. Feel free to add on ideas!
Here's a project that I think will really help people out

I don't get what you're trying to say either.

Re: scratch not asking you to save when you haven't changed anything
He/she's talking about if you save a Scratch project and then try to close Scratch, it will ask you if you want to save the project unless it's just a few seconds after you saved. I agree, this can get annoying sometimes. Some mods (BYOB at least) have this feature improved, and this will hopefully be improved in Scratch 2.0 as well, since it's being rewritten anyway.
Yawn.

It only asks if you want to save if you've changed something. I don't really see what the problem is.

No, sometimes it asks to save even if you haven't saved anything. For example, a lot of times, I save a project, and then quit scratch without doing anything to the project, and it asks me if I want to save again.

Re: scratch not asking you to save when you haven't changed anything
Obviously, you don't understand how Scratch works. It NEVER asks you to save if you haven't changed anything. However, changing something can be as small as dragging a sprite from one place to another, hiding a sprite, or changing its ghost effect. If you open a project, move you character to the opposite side of the screen, and close the project, it asks if you want to save the place where the sprite is now. Many simple projects don't have a "When Start press go to (x) (y)" script, so moving something like a menu button counts as a change.
So even if you never really changed anything major, like a script or costume, you really may have changed something. Just opening a project and closing it won't bring up the message.

You are wrong.
