------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Aug 28 14:28:13 +0000 2008 ------- My 2 cents: First of all let's compare usage of save and save-as -- how often do you use save-as while editing the text? Once? Twice? For me save is used like 1000:1 (or better) comparing to save-as. Now, let's say you started editing a file -- save it. Oh, I said it already --> "SAVE it". Not save-as. Here again, I doubt that save-as is used more often than "save" (I doubt this is even close). But it is also possible for someone (*) to save the file and then start editing it. In OOo it is technically impossible -- you have to type space (and delete it later) and save, or save-as (I didn't know it and used the first method). And the question is -- why you as user have to do such unusual things (they are unusual by estimating frequency of those actions). Because... save is disabled. And what is the benefit of disabling save? ...? Disabling save for empty document is creating artificial problems because somebody had to put extra code into OOo to disable/enable it according to document state. Artificial problem that now the user has to handle. And this is a defect (long standing defect is not a feature just by measuring its age), maybe mild (because there are workarounds) but still a defect. (*) saving first and editing later is better for focusing on work, because on first save you have to specify file placement and name, so this workflow edit, edit, enter file name, choose directory, edit, edit... is not that efficient as this one enter file name, choose directory, edit, edit, edit, edit... because as you can see in the latter case editing is not interrupted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
