I agree that it might improve quality of life, at least for some. It could be a dialog box that says something like “Open with auto save enabled?” The downside would be that causes the user to have to make a (possibly ill-understood) decision before they get to their document.

But it’s a good suggestion and I’ll add it to our list of feature requests. Thank you!

I’m very glad you see CODAP as a “wonderful tool.”
