Hi, Walter<br>
<br>
Apparently I am being very careless in writing. The intent of this
feature is to require a title supplied by the user before the object
is saved. If the user <br>
changes the title in the activity palette, as per the originial
design, the 'save as' alert is not needed. If the user does not care
enough about the document <br>
to give it a name, then it need not be saved (as when one scribbles
in Paint to try out a color, for example).<br>
<br>
It really has nothing to do with commit. That is done automatically
when the activity quits if the user has given it a name. Currently
in most of the XOs I look at, the Journal is full of 'Write
activity' objects where the user has no chance to remember which one
was which.<br>

</span>Yes the proposal is a 'commit message' with a
'don't commit' option. I<br>
was never a fan of the former but having the option would
change my mind.<br>
<br>
Can you help point Utkarsh to when this was removed?
Thanks!<br>

<div>It was sometime before 0.96 because it was in that
release I added the "Write to Journal Anytime" feature.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But I am confused as to what problem we are solving
here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think we should require commit messages in Sugar the
same way we require them in our own work. But that said,
the decision to commit is made numerous times through out
the lifecycle of an activity, not just at closing. For
example, Turtle, Write, and many others will write
whenever the activity goes to the background. And Turtle
saves whenever you run code. So how does a "don't commit"
option work exactly? </div>
