Question on "Updating Master File"

[Midiboy]

Something that's been a thorn in my side since I started using the Project Page back in v6 or so....maybe even 5...don't remember when I started using it.

So, I create a project. I get my song ready to go into the project. I save the song. I send the song to my project. Then I decide to do something that DOES NOT affect the actual song in any way. (Like close the mixer window, or close a plug in window). Then I save the session again so that next time I open it, it opens with just what I want on the screen...but then the project page gets this icon on it that says I must update the Master File...when I made no changes that would affect that mixdown. WHY does it do that? Is this a behavior that can be bypassed somehow without it complaining? Or do I just need to remember to get my session looking aesthetically the way I want it to look before sending a mixdown to the project? Like...if there was an option to right click and say "Ignore changes"...that would be amazing.

The subject of updating the Master file is clearly something Fender could improve, and not only in the way you describe. For example, we could have the option of updating every time we save, so the update would be in the background, because when you do multiple updates, it can take so much time.
And precisely, maybe much time could be saved if the update ignored aesthetical changes and only took mixdown in acccount.
It would need a feature request, you can count on my vote !
