Looks good to me.

Gentlemen,
from my point of view a save is a save, in whatever application I am in. In pcb
I save a pcb, and in eeschema I save a schema. There is no need for different
save icons in individual applications. It adds complexity and workload for
developers without any benefit for users.

Ha! I hadn’t even noticed that. So we do actually support both operations.

Sure, as long as we change the File menu entry
I don't think you are giving our users much credit. I could be wrong
but I would think most user understand that the schematic is not just
the current sheet. There is a "Save Current Sheet" in the File menu.
I'm fine with dropping "Project" from the tooltip. Maybe "Save all
schematic sheets"
But without a tooltip, how is anyone to know that? The window shows only a
single sheet at a time. One might be forgiven for concluding that the save
button will only save the current one. (Or even worrying that it might, and
cycling through all the sheets hitting Save.)
Having a
Just because a schematic has more than one sheet (file), complex or
otherwise does not mean we have a different save context. You are still
saving the current schematic no matter how may files are involved.
Please do *not* do this.

You already said the save will save everything, now you want to introduce
differentiating icons/tooltips that will add complexity to the most simple
tasks that will already do the implied function without the need for
clarifying what is sheet and what is hierarchy. No changing tooltips based

Yeah, I was trying not to let feature creep in. But yes, I would be happier
with a floppy disk icon than an arrow pointing to a hard-disk (for wherever we
use it).
I think Andrey has pulled me around to (a') followed by (a), although I still
prefer a context-sensitive tooltip (iii).

The function is always the same: save as many sheets as there are. The only
question is how to communicate that to the user.
Your reply sounds like a vote for (a)(ii), although you weren’t specific about
the tooltip side of things.
Cheers,
Jeff.

What is the problem with saving ALL schematics in the project that have
been edited, whether it's a 1 sheet or heirarchy sheet project?
Are there times when you only want to save that sheet but not the other
sheets? If yes, then maybe add 2 save buttons, save and save all, if not
then just the
The eeschema Save button’s tooltip reads “save schematic project” (emphasis
mine). Because of that, it got the project-with-superimposed-disk in the
recent icon update. I don’t think either of those is optimal.
There are 3 distinct concepts:
