Saving & autosave

Save when you like; GLASS is also saving quietly in the background the whole time.

Save with Ctrl+S / ⌘S. Save a copy with File ▸ Save As (Ctrl+Shift+S / ⌘⇧S).
The chrome shows Saved after a save; the status bar shows Autosaved HH:MM so you can always see your work is safe.

Note

Autosave runs automatically while you type; you never trigger it. Every save after the first also keeps the previous version of the file as a .glass.bak backup beside it. Leaving with unsaved changes always prompts Save / Discard / Cancel first.
