I support this idea. As of OneDrive, it is always being saved Immediately, unlike DropBox and GoogleDrive which save in the background and speed up current file editing / in / out. The same shall apply to PowerApps.
I agree and would like to add please make save more reliable. As it is I often see dialogs about recent changes not being saved even though I used the file save command.
Hello. I have begun over the past week to notice this misbehaviour as well. I have an application with about 5 screens.
I generally use the Google Chrome browser (currently version 72.0.3626.109) to host Powerapps studio.
I have observed stalling behaviour even when editing my apps in the Power Studio application.
Although Power Apps represents for me a significant advance on InfoPath, the poor response is frustrating and a cause of worry, as I am not unconvinced that I may easily loose critical work. I am now going to take a break from the screen for ~30 minutes, without doing anything to PowerApps.
The local time here is 12:34, and the modified time is currently 18 min ago
13:12. The Save page shows Saving your app... and the last saved is recorded as 15/02/2018, 12:16:04.
On my Microsoft Power Apps page, the Last saved date of my application is now 58 min ago
This is extremely disappointing as a development platform; the behaviour is quite unacceptable and in my view would limits PowerApps' usefulness to small applications for a team of perhaps half a dozen.
