ACTION - Request periodic SAVE -> SAVE COND Mar 16, 2021 9:34:00 GMT -5

Sometimes after doing some FIND and/or LOCATE, the File in EDIT is saved, even when no changes have been made. And a BACKUP is eventually created.

This is unnecessary and changes the LWDATE. And adds to the count of BACKUP-files.

Therefore I would suggest to change the logic to act like "SAVE COND". Maybe thru starting the ACTION-counter only when "Get_modified" is set.

What do you think ? Jo

Basically, if the file is unmodified, the Action Counter is ignored and no SAVE will be done till (and unless) the file is modified. Will be in the next release. George
