#102 Don't ask about saving when workspace has not been modified

[Anonymous]

If you start RKWard, create an empty workspace, and then close it (or open an existing one), you're asked about saving changes, even if you've done absolutely nothing. The same happens if you open an existing workspace and close it immediately.

I know detecting changes is probably hard, but maybe RKWard could simply remember whether any code was run, and avoid asking to save changes if that's not the case. That's a little detail, but it would make the app look much more clever and professional. ;-)

(This is with RKWard 0.5.6z+0.5.7+devel1.)

A valid wish, but not entirely trivial to implement (we are running a bunch of R code in any session, so we can't base a heuristic on that. However, R does keep track of whether the image was touch (R_DirtyImage), and it should be possible to make use of that).
