3/ I found the Open/Save As/ menus not optimal.
I've always thought we should move towards:
-- Save
Save the current document with the current file name. Don't prompt if the file already exists.
-- Save As...
Choose a file name for the document, and save it as that name. Change the default name to be the one chosen here.
-- Save Copy...
Save the current document under a name given in the dialog. Do not change the default name for the document.
-- Export Bitmap...
Export the document to a bitmap. No effect on the current name.
-- Export Vector...
Export to a vectored format. Different from "Export Bitmap" in the settings that it will allow. I'd like to see this allow for things like "only in the drawing region" or "selected items" like the export bitmap feature.
-- Export Directory...
This is a place for special extensions like the webpage one. I think that it really needs to be it's own menu item because the interface is unique enough in choosing a directory and it will change the user's expectations of what will come next (i.e. more than one file name conflict).
