CvPcb has a Save command (complete with disk icon). Only it doesn’t do that. (It simply writes the changes back to eeschema.)
If it were a dialog, I’d say that’s not good. But this is CvPcb, where you could easily spend an hour making associations (hitting save every few minutes), only to have your machine and/or Kicad go down with all your changes. That’s borderline horrific. I don’t like the idea of blind-saving the eeschema document, but I think that would be better than what we have now. Another idea would be to trigger an auto-save for each CvPcb save. It’s not ideal because the user may think that there aren’t any changes in their eeschema file and therefore ignore the auto-save warning when restarting. Yet another idea would be to foist the decision on the user with a “Save your schematic?” dialog every time you save in CvPcb. That’s pretty hard to love, but with Orson’s new KIDIALOG we could at least have a “don’t ask me again” checkbox. Maybe that’s not so bad….
