"Save as" functionality

[Alatar]

Please add "Save as" item to menu, which works like "Save copy", but reopen file from new location after saving.

Hello,

Thanks for your suggestion! I think it would indeed be sensible to separate both operations. Also to make "Save copy" really save just a copy of the original file without the modifications. And make "Save as" work as you described with saving any modifications to annotations and form fields.

But since we are currently in freeze for the release of version 0.3.6, this will have to wait for version 0.3.7 and should be implemented in trunk in about two weeks. (I will probably have it ready in a separate branch before then.)

Best regards, Adam.

An initial implementation lives in the branch "lp:~adamreichold/qpdfview/saveas" resp. "https://code.launchpad.net/~adamreichold/qpdfview/saveas". If you are comfortable with building with source, testing it is very much appreciated. (This should hit trunk and hence the daily builds in about two weeks.)

Thanks!
It`s seems to work.
But can you add option to init "Save" dialog with path, where I save last document, not where the current document exist?

[Adam Reichold (adamreichold)]

I separated the settings to remember the path for opening and saving documents in trunk and merged it into saveas. Should work as expected now. Regards, Adam.

Works ok.

Thank you!
