requesting saving and "level editor" functionality

[Speckmade]

Binary package hint: gnome-games

(One may or may not see this as a "bug" report, although I feel like it could legitimately be seen as one. - One may want to rather regard it as a "feature request"...)
To directly answer the question of "what [I] expected to happen": As a someone being serious about practically studying the sometimes interesting problem type presented in those cards puzzles through happy gaming, and as seeing AisleRiot as a polished, professional "software solution" for "patience gaming" (so to speak), I'd have expected the software to
* offer me a "save" and "load" (eventually also "save as") button and respective menu entries to save the board (at least the initial one) of the current "level" - to be able to continue my "study" of that specific puzzle I was being presented with and to be able to share that board with others to also be able to do that e.g. in a puzzle loving community or something alike;
* have something one may call a "level editor mode" to be able to manually feed a puzzle into the system and not to have only random (auto-generated) puzzles
(In order not to loose characteristics of a "fun" game and of a GNOME-style application maybe it could be wise to hide those "advanced buttons" behind a dedicated tickbox in the "view" menu... just an implementation thought.)

(Hope this all makes sense... - English isn't my mother tongue, really...)

I'd be sorry if someone feels offended by perceiving this as "just" a feature request and Apport being only there to report "serious" bugs. For that case I'd like to offer the excuse, that it is the easiest (if not only reasonable) way to report this (as for my view) quite serious thing... :-)

(Btw: Thanks for the nice piece of software. - Keep the fire of freedom blazin'! [erm, - yea.])

Thank you for opening this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Don't worry about using Apport to report this bug - all bugs are valuable contributions to the process of improving Ubuntu.

I believe that the features you have mentioned will NOT be implemented within the next Ubuntu release (11.04 - Natty Narwhal). However, this bug will be reported to the developers of the application.

Thanks.
