There are certain types of apps for which autosave doesn't really make sense, though: - An app that's primarily a viewer rather than an editor doesn't have much use for autosave. - An app that opens a particularly large or complex document type such that the save operation would take a large amount of time won't work very well in the autosave paradigm. - An app that edits metadata on a file, like one of those "Get Info" apps, doesn't have much use for autosave. - For an app that takes non-file URLs and lets you edit files directly over the network (think BBEdit/TextWrangler's "Open from SFTP Server" feature), you probably don't want it constantly autosaving.
