I was so sleepy that I forgot to send announcement...

Can you be more specific, please?

I decided to backup original, as soon as it is opened, so in case of any=20
programming error you at least have last version. Previously backup was sav=
ed=20
on every save, but I decided that this is not that good - if original is=20
damaged by programming bug, probably on the next save backup would be damag=
ed=20
as well.

This is side effect of read-only files handling and it is here to allow=20
quitting with unconditional save turn on, even if file cannot be saved. Of=
=20
course, if user cancels save manually, it should be detected and KnowIt=20
should be closed without further questions.
To put it short: this is a bug to fix in 0.10.
