Snippet Plugin: "Edit > Modify > auto save" question
If i edit an snippets, it is automatically saved.

Means:
* open an snippet to modify
* modify
* close the tab
Snippet is modified! No question, no [OK]

What sounds fine first can messing-up our snippets
if we play around and close the edit-tab,
while thinking we will be asked to save or not.
Or think this closing without Ctrl+S is like canceling.
But instead our mess is saved automatically.

I think, once closed there is no way to undo an modification.

Is this the indented behavior?
Shouldn't we be asked to save if doc is dirty?
Like an normal document too.

Hi Stefan,

This is the intended behavior.
The modified documents are automatically saved, so I thought we shouldn't need prompt to ask. If there were prompts, there is another problem when trying to close the plug-in (when opening a new plug-in custom bar, for instance). However, in the future, I might include the snippets plug-in to the EmEditor core so that I can add an option to ask for the prompt.

Thanks!
