Sergio Zambrano (ID: 0000008b4d63f15d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/13/2014 I have the same problem than Moss Doerksen, and I found out that the optional auto-save is not optional. It ALWAYS saves the files, so I have the file open in DreamWeaver too, and it gets overriden as soon as I the extension "considers" the style sheet was modified (sometimes I haven't even changed it! ) The worst part is DreamWeaver automatically updates the open file (i hope I can change that from preferences) so I just found out why I was losing changes so often: Dreamweaver was updating silently, more often than I thought. Please make the auto-save able to be turned off.
