Puppy Packetmanager(PPM2) does save when it should not

[backi]

Using Tahrpup 6.0.5 frugally installed to Flash .
As i experienced ...when running Puppys with New Puppy Packet Manager (PPM2) ... even in "no save mode " .... setting Pup Event Manager-Save-Intervals=0
(only saving on demand with save2flash )
also using Puppy Packetmanager-Configure"install to tmpfs instead of savefile, till session is saved" .....
when installing pets or installing from Puppy Packet Manager (PPM2) during session ........
they are immediately saved to save-folder despite Pup Event Manager set to Save-Intervals=0.
Other changes (configuration,Wallpaper changing ) will not be saved during session ...in this mode .

Which means using :

1.Puppy Packetmanager-Configure"install to tmpfs instead of savefile, till session is saved" does not work.
2.setting Pup Event Manager-Save-Intervals=0 does not work .
3.installing Pupsaveconfig 2.2.6 does not work ......
to prevent saving to flash when installing pets or installing from Puppy Packet Manager (PPM2) .
This is corroborated from different other users .

My suspicious:
its a special problem from PPM2
