Feature: Save as New File

[ChiefMikeK]

General information

• App version: v101-2.2.1 from github
• System: Android 6.0.1 Samsung

Description

Sometimes I need to save a new Quicknote{¿date?}.md vice appending the older/current Quicknote.md but there's no easy way to accomplish that.
So suggest you add an entry to the menu-pull-down as in screenshot:
● Save As (newfile) & also for translations be shure to distinguish it from
● Save (overwrite)

Hi! Can I work on this issue? Is it still open @gsantner ? Thanks

Hi @gsantner I've added the menu item but I'm not sure how to approach implementing save as UI. How do you want this to be implemented?

[ChiefMikeK]

fwiw

In some languages the word "as" doesn't translate well that is why I had recommended including (overwrite) & (newfile) in the dropdown 👀

Still Hoping to 👀 this!

Hi, I think I have understood how to add the UI, and I found the DocumentEditFragment class to read. However I don't know what is the way to open a dialog and ask the user for new location(directory, and ask for a new name as well), is there a java class in this project that I should read? BTW, after a save as action, the word/notepad/typora would like to open the new copied file to edit in the same activity, so after the action, I think I should invoke the loadDocument() method in DocumentEditFragment class, did I got it right?

[gsantner]

newfile and rename dialog java classes.

Here's an possible PR that may solve this issue.

[gsantner]

there is now a button "Markor" when you select text, and you can select also all text. Using that button leads to the Share-Into screen where you can "Save as new file", or append to, or whatever you like to.

If you want to make safety copies, make it before changing up your text, or use some sync software functionalties (which i.e. do backup/history on server side). Trusting on editor undo or alike is not what you should look out to, whats gone is gone and when you turn off the screen Markor will save, as it should.
