Save in Previous Version

Status: Declined

I'm declining this idea due to lack of community support.

TestStand can save a sequence file in previous versions but that option is not very evident. Currently when you go to File >> Save As, the option to chose from is "Files of Type". I propose that a change to "Save in Version" or something to that effect be implemented. This change will make things a lot clearer for the user as it will be self explanatory. Another option will be to make it its own menu item under file>>. I hope see this in future versions of TestStand.

Maybe all that's required is better help. When you click on the Help button on the Save As Dialog Box, the help displayed is for the 'Open File File Dialog Box', how is this help!. What appears to be the only related help is for 'Save All Modified File Dialog Box'.

Therefore a help related to 'Save As' which can then explain the use of the Files of Type control will better suited.
