Let us be precise. I know nothing about "AutoSave" plugin. In my installation there is "Save Actions" plugin, which preferences consist of 3 tabs: "Auto Save", "Instant Save", "Backup Copy".

But the Autosave plugin has no way of knowing that you told Geany to not save the file…

Again, you are telling me about disadvantages of current Geany architecture. Look at the problem from user point of view. Geany asked a simple question: "Try to resave?". User replied: "No". It's very simple, isn't it?

That means, communication protocol between Geany and its plugin should be fixed or extended to provide a way to let plugin know the file should not be saved.
