The initial report here concerned the implicit action of "Save as" which is:
and make all subsequent "Save" operations also write to this file and then discussion spun off into "Export" and a wholesale rearrangement of "Save" and "Save as...". Current versions of Inkscape have "Save a copy..." in the file menu , which is nothing but "Save as.." without this implicit action. So why is this bug still open? End users can already achieve the desired result by selecting that other file menu option. If this is still considered an issue, would not a bit of text in the "Save as.." dialog, warning the user, not suffice? Perhaps place it below "Title" and have it say: This file will also be the new target for "Save". To retain the current "Save" target cancel this dialog and use "Save a Copy" instead. Alternatively, put in a check box, normally checked, that says: Make this the new target for "Save" If it was deselected, then "Save as..." would act like "Save a copy" does now. The latter change pretty much eliminates the need for a "Save a copy" file menu option, at the expense of an occasional extra mouse click within the "Save as..." dialog. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/171054 Title: PDF better under "Export" than "Save As" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171054/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
