Description
I noticed this with the workflow File > Record Movie followed by Tools > TAStudio. I think it'd be preferable if they were initially saved at least once when they were created.
TAStudio does prompt:
Convert movie
TAStudio will create a new project file from the current movie.
The current movie has unsaved changes. Would you like to save before closing it?
but I would argue creation is not a change per se but just the base state upon which changes can be done.
This was not the behavior in 2.9.1, and this seems likely to be a recent change.
Host env.

Research direction
Reproduce the File > Record Movie followed by Tools > TAStudio workflow on the reported BizHawk build, then trace the movie-creation and conversion flow. Done means a newly created .bk2 movie is saved at least once and the conversion prompt no longer treats that initial state as an unsaved change.
