[TxMt] Switching between bundle editor and document windows

[Simon Gregory]

Ahh. I see. In effect you're talking about a lack of directly  
affecting a save (apple-s) from within the bundle editors item edit  
window. Or the rather abstract way to go about effecting the save.  
I've been working with TM for that long I don't really notice  
anymore, I always close the bundle editor after a change to make sure  
that the item I've edited is saved..... so what really is going on in  
those screen casts? Anyone?
