Project file changed

[aplman]

The following sequence of actions has puzzled me.

I open a PTE file using PTEAV version 11.

I click on Project Options.

I click on the Control tab, or other tabs, to visually check the settings, but I do not change anything.

I try to close the file.  Project file has been changed. Do you want to save it?

I don’t want to save it, because I have not changed anything, and saving will affect the file time-stamp.  I rely on file timestamps to help me stay organized.

Seems to me there is a flaw in PTE somewhere.

Expert advice please?

Hi Ken,

This is probably not the answer you want but if you click on "Do not save" it does not alter the time stamp.

Thanks Dave.  I reckon you can do better than that!  In my experience, combined with some guesswork, I fear other experts are less likely to respond if they see there is already an answer.

May I invite others to comment?

Hi,

Yes, I observe this behaviour after opening and closing the Project Options. We'll check the code. 

It seems that PTE just sets a flag "Modified" on any opening of the Project Options.

It seems that the same happens with the Slide Options Window. It also happens when you make some change and undo it, either in O&A or in the Main Window. So, the Undo Button shows that there has not been any change, but when closing the project you see window shown in davegee's message.
