No no that's not what I meant xD And no I don't and can't work like that :)
I meant being able to have all the files open at the same time with unsaved
changes strewn all over the place - but being able to save the files one at
a time. ie - can the user decide *when* to save and *which* files exactly to
save. Let's say I have file a b c and d open and all have unsaved changes.
Can I choose to save only file b and c to disk and leave the stuff in a and
d unsaved, as you could in Kate and any other regular tabbed editor?

I guess this means the answer is no? I don't really have hard objections
against this, but I do sometimes find it convenient to be able to leave a
file with changes unsaved and be able to simply revert by reloading the file
from disk later if I want to. I know you could achieve a similar effect with
save-point, but you don't always know you're doing something awful until
you're several files worth of changes in :)
