As a side note, to this day, I cannot bring myself to do that. I save, and then exit w/o saving - a hold over from my STV days. 

...

I can empathize with that based on my experiences with VSE (the follow up to STV). However in VSE I think I probably lost more code in PARTS due to bugs that would make my code inaccessible than anything else. We ended up switching to Window Builder from PARTS just in time for the PP-D suicide. Ugh!

In Dolphin I do actually do a "snapshot and exit". However I have my image configured to make a backup when ever I load it. Between my image backups and Ian's wonderful Chunk Browser I do not worry about corrupt images anymore as I know I can easily recover. Dolphin images have been pretty sturdy. I have only experienced a handful of damaged images over the years I have been using it on an almost daily basis.

Just in case there is any misunderstanding still lurking about, I am NOT saying there is a problem with save/exit. I AM saying that I do not use it, and hence cannot sing its praises; simple as that. When I saw (likely) VC related walkbacks during a save/exit, it made sense to pass along a couple of observations and their context.

My image speaks to Dolphin's stability and of its ability save images.

Have a good one,

Bill
