I preferred the old save icon too.
but there are probably some reasons that moved the developers to modify it and
bring the new one.

however I think that nothing prevents us for asking to have both, so that users
could choose the saving icon they prefer.

maybe an extension could be created to do that and simulate the old one.
let's file this as an enhancement request, so I change the summary lines.

@UX-team
the new file save icon proved to be a little controversial, since there are
many reports of user complaining about it.

my idea as I wrote in previous line is to bring back the "old save icon action
box" and keep the "new save icon dropbown button" in order to let the user
choose which one it prefers.

I suppose that it should not be too difficult to restore the code about the old
button without replacing the new one.

we could have two "save icons" with slightly different functions but that would
please everyone

@Ernest
click on "Tools/Options/View/Icon size" and choose "small"

@Samuel
the new save icons takes more space than the old one since there's the dropdown
triangle next to it... it takes the space of 1 and 1/2 normal button.

so I suppose that those extra pixels may cause annoyance in netbooks with small
screen and moreover it may happen that the user clicks on the triangle instead
of the icon.

having said that, I think that the best thing would be to have both "save
button" methods in LibO. user could easily customize their toolbars with the
one they prefer to use.
