Comment 47 for bug 92879

@Balaji:

I agree it should not overwrite your saved file. But, e.g. if you want to improve the old (saved) version, you should be able to record a new record (without overwriting the old record), be able to play it back to decide whether it's better than the saved one, and then, if you want, save it, if not, you could record another "temporary" one, and so on until you are satisfied enough that you want to overwrite the saved one with the temporary one (i.e. hit "Save").

But I see that you should be able to play back the saved one as well, even if you have recorded a new one.

To do this with two separate windows is a solution available with current version of the program, but seems to me more like a workaround than a real solution.

So an ideal solution, without adding a much of new GUI, would be to have 2 play buttons: "Play saved", and "Play recorded".

The "Play saved" would play the saved version.
The "Play recorded" would play the newest recorded version (not necesarily saved).

So only one button would be added.
And I don't think it would need much new coding logic (although saying that something should be easy is always easy :-) at least easier than it finally turns out ;-)
