[GNC] Enhancement suggestion

[Glenn Fowler]

I'm assuming you are using XML. In that case the "Save" button does appear
from being greyed out and you are indicated on close. Of course this is
global and not individual indications that you would like.

The SQL database will save as you go.

I'm in the other camp where I *don't* want to auto-save. This has saved me
numerous times where I make a big mistake and it's a simple close without
saving and reopening which is a littler easier and quicker than opening a
previous backup and renaming files.
