Save selection as... (Ctrl+Shift+F12) ignores Normal tempate

Post by Leopoldus »

It seems, that when saving a document with the command [Save selection as...] (Ctrl+Shift+F12), Atlantis disregards a user's (default) Normal template and uses instead of it its own original Normal template.
I'm not sure, whether it is a bug or feature. At my opinion, it's rather a bug...

Another issue with this command is, that it's quite confusing, that this command is not included in the main menu. Woldn't is be logical to add it to [File] menu or to [Save Special...] submenu?

Document templates are used when you create new documents, not when you save anything.
The main difference between the "File | Save As..." and "Save Selection As..." commands is that the "File | Save As..." command saves entire document to a file while the "Save Selection As..." command saves only the selected portion of the active document.
Another issue with this command is, that it's quite confusing, that this command is not included in the main menu. Wouldn't is be logical to add it to [File] menu or to [Save Special...] submenu?
The "File" menu commands deal with entire documents, not their fragments.
