WillPittenger Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 If I close a changed file, it would help if I could get the option to not just save the file, but save it with a new name (Save As rather than Save). Currently, I have to Save As and then close the file. It would work smoother the other way as I wouldn't have to remember that I want to change the name.

Boude Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Try this: open PDN draw a random line (1 pixel length should be enough) close PDN, press save. Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillPittenger Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 And if I wanted to start every image new, that might work. But sometimes I am working with existing image. Quote Will Pittenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boude Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Then PDN would check if any data would be lost when saving, for example: You have an image saved as a .png and you create a new layer and draw something on it, then you would still get the save as... window, because if it was saved as .png you would lose the data of the original image underneath the pixels you drew over.

WillPittenger Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 I don't know about drawing. I was doing some cropping and resizes. I don't want to paint over the photos. Quote Will Pittenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boude Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Then I think it would overwrite the existing file. Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillPittenger Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 And now you know my problem. Quote Will Pittenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Just click "cancel" and then "save it as." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Just click "cancel" and then "save it as." Bingo. We have a winner.

WillPittenger Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Just click "cancel" and then "save it as." That is a workaround--no more. Quote Will Pittenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I don't see how it's a workaround - the "save" option exists AFAIK simply because it's a common action users want to carry out before quitting, rather than force them to click "cancel" and then save. If your definition of a workaround is doing without a new feature, rather than living with a bug or glitch, then yes, it's a workaround. However, if you go down that path you might as well "improve" the "save changes" dialog by adding options such as "print and then close," "save the top layer and then close" and "select the second layer, run clouds and then close." Just my 20 pence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It isn't a workaround. It's a standard user interface idiom. This feature will not be implemented.
