Follow-up Comment #4, bug #18545 (project mypaint):

Hey Thanks Andrew for the scrapbook new icons in toolbar ; '+ <- ->' Sure,
it's easier to play with them now, and see the real effect, I will keep them
displayed now :)

For the behavior, something that could fix the problem, would be to split the
function into 2 parts :

- Save As new scrap ( new scrapname_xxx +1 )
- Save New revision / Save Incremental Version ( new incremental suffix _b to
_z )

1) Save As new scrap
Will always create a new scrap, based on +1 of the last existing scrap ( as
behaving now ) , exemple :
/mypredifined/scrapbookprefix/path/scrap001.ora
/mypredifined/scrapbookprefix/path/scrap002.ora
/mypredifined/scrapbookprefix/path/scrap003.ora
/mypredifined/scrapbookprefix/path/scrap004.ora

2) Save New revision / Save Incremental Version
This new one would be active only if the active artwork as already a filename
and a path to save it. It can work on scrap, but also on other file on the
harddrive, making my workflow also faster when saving ( less keyboard centric
saving for me )  exemple :
/mypredifined/scrapbookprefix/path/scrap003_a.ora
/mypredifined/scrapbookprefix/path/scrap003_b.ora
/mypredifined/scrapbookprefix/path/scrap003_c.ora
or
/home/deevad/my_artwork_a.ora
/home/deevad/my_artwork_b.ora
/home/deevad/my_artwork_c.ora

Of course, I'm not fond of revision name with a-z of the current scrap system
( and mostly , because after 26 revision , Mypaint have a error , reset the
filename , read the error detail here : http://www.pasteall.org/25045/bash ).

A similar feature as (2) was bringed in Krita named 'Save Incremental
Version' (in 'File' Menu) and add the suffix _001 then _002 etc... etc...
allowing 999 revision ( confortable , because it happens to me to cross the
100 revision sometime ). I would really like the 2 softwares can works
together bringing new revision on *.ora files easily. 


Maybe the final design for a scrap with revision could be :
scrap001_001.ora ?

Thank you for your time.
