This was an oversight in the 1.x versions of LSP.  There was (and is) no
facility for setting the creator of whatever you're building.  I was told
almost two years ago that it would be available in the next release (that must
be the 2.0 that is rumored to be coming soon).

Saving as text only will create a file which can be read with other editors, a
good thing.  Entire document appears to save some tokenized binary image.  Such
a file opens a lot quicker in the editor(?) that LSP provides, saves breakpoints
and other such things.  I always save text-only when debugging changes force me
to use that editor so that I can do my real editing with SigmaEdit or something
similar.
