Sometimes I like to experiment in Scratch with all it's awesome features. But something that is starting to annoy me is the fact that every time I do this, the project auto-saves. Eventually, “My Stuff” got clogged up with “untitled-_”s. I know we can delete them, but even so I think there should be a feature so that they don't save in the first place. What I'm thinking is a checkbox beside the “share” button called “Experimental Project”. This would disable autosaving, but the save button would still be available.
What do you think?

I have had this problem before too. I agree 100%.

+1. That happens a lot.

i agree with both of you. but the scratch team might not.

when green flag clicked
forever
    help with question (currentQuestionIndex)
    next [question v]
end

yeah that annoys me but if scratch team sees this they will make it but only if all of us (well most of us) say yes scratch on

yea, that does get annoying I agree. If only they would add options and then there's no more problem right?

I think it should be an option in the file menu whether or not to autosave. By default it would be on, but people can turn it off if they want.

I think a better idea is to only turn autosave on after the user clicks save for the first time.

And then it starts autosaving everything they play around with…

+1. I have suggested this a couple times. Maybe fodder for account settings?
