[Wish] Save as....

[Laurent95]

Hi,

A wish for the future release, can we have a command "Save As" in the menu.
That would be more easy for test something as another part of code or another temporary version of our project.
I know, sometime i go to only read the code but my hands tickles me so much sometime

Regards

This feature request was discussed before. The main issue with a project "Save as..." feature is that a project is usually made of many files. File - Export as zip actually gives a better solution in most cases.

[Wish] Save as

Hi,

Sorry i had not seen the thread about it.
Yes i understand but i still convinced that would be a good thing for the java files at least.
That would allow us to test some different concept of development, especially for optimize our code also.

Arffff :BangHead:, a new proof that i need to be less rigorous sometime
We have the undo command also, that is another way.

Thanks for the tip, Erel, i will use the zip export more often.
Best regards.

Which java files? The java files should not be saved. They are created automatically when you compile your project.

Hi
:signOops: I means the basic files '.bas', the source code of the module we change.
I was in search for something in java for update my code, that was i do the mistake

But let that, it seems after many consider that's not enough.
I use your tip about the zip now

Regards

I too was going to request a "Save As" feature... but you make a valid point about the export ZIP. If I get a stable release and then start making changes... it may be more than just the ASCII code file that have changed.

I'll be sure to use the Export as ZIP function.

Thanks!

In addition to that being a good answer, by supporting Mercurial or Git, it would be really easy to clone a repository

Please support them!!

Having looked for "Mercurial" it seems to me that you would add even more complexity to the use of B4A. A much more easy to set-up backup-system as it seems to me is "Autover" Beans Place: AutoVer that copies and time-stamps any (selectable) file as soon as it is changed on the disk.

Mercurial, in fact, isn't a backup system.
It's a version control system, which has the purpose of tracking the version of the software you're working on.
This is, like, essential? in a modern dev shop of even one.
It helps in so many ways:

- Keeps track of changes for you
- If used properly, makes branching a breeze
- Allows you to create "special builds" without losing your change history.

I'd say it's worth a shot ;-)
