The above was no criticism of the current behavior I was only stating the facts, i.e. that channels created with the GUI will not always end up in the channels dir. > Another option would be to just remove the "Specify filename" option entirely and > replace it with an small icon of a despot :-) Well, since this tool is for the "normal" user this might be a good idea (minus the despot icon:) That is, always give the Plucker document the same name as the channel and put it in the channel dir. That would work just fine for 99% of the users. If you want to be a bit more flexible you could allow the user to specify a different name, but still save the document in the channels dir (if a path is specified it could be removed, so that only the basename is left intact). This could still be solved using only one option, i.e. a field with the name (default would be the "autogenerated" name). I wouldn't mind if we also changed this to be the document name (and filename) instead of using the channel name as the document name, e.g. I could have a channel for some online magazine that change every month and by only changing the name of the document once every a month I could create separate documents using the same channel. The default name would still be to equal to the channel name and if the user doesn't change it we will more or less have the same behavior as today. > I guess the no doc_file key exists would also need to be > handled in some way. What do you suggest there? Well, all channels have a name, so that could be used to "autogenerate" a name if no doc_file is given. /Mike
