How about an incremenial numbering feature while working:

You open an existing file "song" and it immediately becomes "song000", ten minutes (adjustable in default settings menu) later it becomes "song001". I am no coder, is something doable?

This is a tricky one IMHO because on the other hand when working on

project I also want to be able to always save and not risk losing any

change which comes up.

So any warning like that should definitely be a switchable on/off option.

My two cents.
