pop up warning?

in Working with GS (Mac)
sometimes I get a pop-up when using GS that says... "This document's file has been changed by another application since you opened or saved it. The changes made by the other application will be lost if you save. Save anyway?" ... not sure what that means? I don't use any other application.

    I get that too, not sure why as like you it happens when there is nothing else open, I guess the OS might be doing something that GameSalad interprets as the file having being modified (guess).

    It doesn't seem to do any harm (I hope), I usually just hit 'save'.

    Nothing to sweat over. If it keeps coming up, just give the file a new name when you save and it should stop (you may have to close the app and relaunch or restart the OS as well). Sometimes the OS clings to something in the file name and acts in this manner.

    I tend to work straight from DropBox (probably not the best idea, but it's worked well for me) and I assume that warning occurs when DropBox is trying to sync at the same time that I try to save. I just save again a few seconds later and it works fine.
