DItto. I don't think I have -ever- used that feature. I just click another object.

Yes - changing views saves as well, but having to change the view just to get it to save would be a bit weird, no?

Yeah, I do actually agree with you on that point, but it's what we have all gotten used to now! :)

Save... does save, as I explained earlier. Into Mudlet. Not onto your disk.

Thats a very unique definition of "save" -- if it can be lost due to anything short of hardware failure... its not really "saving"

Not at all "saving to mudlet" aka to memory is not saving anything, it's merely an application still running...

I agree that "Save" can be a bit confusing, but the functionality is necessary and useful. Maybe they could change the name of the button (and the picture) to something more descriptive of what was actually happening.

The tooltips there should be providing the explanation - I don't remember of my adjusted ones made it into 2.1, but they have been clarified recently.
