Change Export into Save & Export #167
Description
Activity
This is an interesting suggestion! Actually, last time an experienced user also lost his project.
It's quite often the case that programs auto save. We don't have this in TS.- added a commit that references this issue
on Oct 1, 2026 I think that my request is misunderstood. What I need is a single action by which both the project is saved as well as the export to .DST is done. So that I am sure that the two are saved and belong together. Then both can be copied to a USB stick and when then moving to another laptop, e.g. after stitching the pattern, the original design can be opened and continued to work on.
This is especially important in the "continuous flow" workshops that I do.
It is also different from AutoSave.
Change these commands
into:
Save and Export SVG
Save and Export Melco/EXP
Save and Export Tajima/DST
And not only change the text, but also indeed save and then export. When saving for the first time then of course show the panel where the name can be filled in and the location chosen.
Motivation:
At workshops that I do, children share the laptop sequentially. When one is finished, the DST file is exported and the laptop can be used again by another child. When they later want to change their design after they see what the embroidered result looked like, the .xml file may not be present anymore, since they forgot to save it.
When always forcing the save to happen when exporting, this problem is fixed.
