Save reminder

Hi Eric
"Save the drawing every .... minutes" is a really useful feature. Auto-save is a real nuisance on CAD drawings (in my opinion
) and I'm glad it's not implemented in RealCADD.
When you are working on a complex project - like a boat design for example – you often have a lot of earlier drawings open to use as references, take measurements from etc etc. You don't want to be saving that sort of temporary stuff, specially if you are working on a finished, issued drawing and not a copy.
So a save reminder is a good tool and leaves whether to save or not in your hands. But it would be really nice if it could be implemented on a drawing by drawing basis rather than in general preferences. Otherwise, when I have perhaps ten drawings open and I've done something temporary of most of them – the save reminder keeps coming up all the time and bonging at me and it gets a bit irritating as well as interrupting my work flow! And apart from the drawing I am actually working on, I don't want to save any changes. Yet I want to keep the save reminder for the drawing I am working on – otherwise I can draw for half a day and get so immersed in the drawing that I forget to save – so if there is a crash, I lose a lot of work.
Not a big deal of course
