Quick Tip: Unsaved Documents In OS X

Just discovered this nice little tip the other day while working with multiple documents in Coda. Whenever you are editing a document using a program such as TextEdit, Photoshop or Coda, if the document has changes that have not been saved you will notice a small dark dot in the middle of the red document close button / bubble in the upper left of the window. As soon as you save that document the dot vanishes.

After noticing this it quickly becomes part of your sub-conscious workflow - yet another one of those tiny little visual reminder clues that you never really notice until that split second where you wonder if you’ve saved the latest version or not.

I’m not sure if this feature is new to Leopard or has always been a part of OS X, but I’ve been using macs for years and just noticed it for the first time.

Another quick tip from Sean Sperte, for a quick new tab in Safari:
