Bye, Bye implicit saving...

Dating back to the first releases of QGRUBEditor the system which was used to save changes was implicit saving. That is, whenever the user modified a setting, the file was updated to reflect the change. The advantage of this system is pretty clear: you need not to worry about saving. It is automatically done upon modifying something.

However, it seems that it is not the best system. Many users have been complaining that it was not clear when the changes were saved (although a "File Updated" message appeared in the status bar) and that the old classic "Save" button/action would be better.

So in view of the Systemsettings module of KGRUBEditor that will be created sometime in the next months and due to user request, the implicit saving system in KGRUBEditor was replaced with the classic "Save" button, as can be seen in the screenshot:


As you can see the Save action and button is currently disabled (as expected since no changes have occured) and whenever the user changes something, they get enabled.

Lastly, there is a confirmation message box which pops up when the user has modified something and tries to quit the application:

Just to note that some UI changes that have happened lately (like the Move Entry buttons being next to the entry list) have occurred merely for the imminent Systemsettings module.
