Hi Richard,
I have a question about the page
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/menus/file.html
Unfortunately, I haven't found an email-address on that page or pages
close to that page. Could you please forward this mail to the
person working on the KDE User Interface Guidelines? Thanks.
My Question:
Bad experiences with different kinds of programs and OSes made be
very (probably over-)precautious when working with documents.
Let's look at an example: I write a document and save it as
document-v1.doc
I do save this file very often and once in a while (round about
an hour later), I save it as
document-v2.doc
This goes on, until I've reached the final state which might be
document-v9.doc
Then, I clean up by saving the final version as
document-final.doc
and removing -lets say - the first 7 versions.
This procedure would be simplyfied pretty much, if there would
be the option in the file-menu to
Save Copy As ...
Why is this option not included in the Standard Interface?
With best regards
Tobias Hoevekamp
