@peterjones said in A mode to show opened files are saved or not?:
That’s why that feature was added. (Personally, I wish the “alternate” icons were made the primary/default, but at least the option is there.)
Don’s philosophy is that new optional behavior is never the default. To me it would be better the other way around: If something better/fresher is made the default, users know about it; those that don’t like it (sometimes people just hate change, even when what has been changed is better) can always change it back. The way it is, I’m sure a lot of good new behavior is unbeknownst to a lot of users.
