I would still leave "Open" for prompt-clear-read -- since that's what is costumary in most other programs. Existing users will only be (slightly and gratefully) surprised the first time. If/when we implement multiple test plan editing we will just need to remove the prompt-clear phase.

I would not bother to keep a "Merge" -- although it doesn't harm much with that name. It's functionality would not be obvious, even worse if we supported opening multiple test plans. Plus it's already handled at the pop-up/edit menu level.

Backward compatibility is nice to keep, but should not become a roadblock when the old stuff is so poor. And you must admit that the GUI is probably the poorest area of JMeter -- which is not too surprising since JMeter users (and hence JMeter developers) are mostly server-side people.

En/na BAZLEY, Sebastian ha escrit:
I've found (some of) the discussion about Save/Load menu items, which had
already been recorded in Bugzilla:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23780

To summarise, the suggestion was to have the following functionality:

1) Clear the existing test plan, after prompting to save it

This is the current New behaviour.
It would be better to rename this as "Close", as it does not create a New
plan.

2) Read a file into the existing tree

This is the current Open behaviour, but it would be better to name it
"Merge".

3) Clear plan (prompt to save) and read new test plan.

This is new functionality, which could be called "Open".
However, Open currently does something different, so it might be better to
use a different name.

New could be resurrected later if multiple test plans were to be supported.

OK?

Sebastian
