Mike <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Mike <[email protected]> --- I have just lost a very important file. First, windows gave me 15minutes to save everything - so huge number of "Untitled" files got saved. Then as I went to rename then I opened a file, saved it as the proper name in the proper directory but when I deleted the "original" it wasn't and bang went a whole lot of work. It's now so bad, that often I will open a file, check I want to delete and have to check it another time. The point is that I NEED to see what I'm deleting and/or renaming. I was explaining this to someone. Often I do research and pick a piece from here a piece from there and put them into documents. So, I may have ten or more documents open at a time. And obviously I like to regularly save, but I'm never really certain what the "document" is until I've found a lot of things and can think of a name for them. However, because I have so many documents with names like "notes 1", it is a real pain trying to work out which is which - so if I save as and then delete the likelihood of deleting the wrong one is far too high. And, just to emphasise the point. The literal meaning of "save as", does not mean "create a new document", but save the current document with the new name. So, "save as" really should be called "Save new as". So, whilst I can see the problem with locks, PLEASE PLEASE provide an option so that I can rename when doing "save as". ALSO - with only 10 files on the history list, and around 20 files open at any one time - if I use "save as" the files I'm working on get kicked off the list as there are now two versions of each file in the history (of which one is deleted). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
