<Allow File > Save As from ePublisher Pro projects>

Summary

<Allow File > Save As from ePublisher Pro projects. So for example, you have created a stationary in ePublisher pro, that you want to use for most projects. Then you want to create a second stationary that is similar, but not exactly the same. Right now, you’d have to create a whole new ePublisher Pro project for the second set of stationary, and recreate all of your overrides, instead of just doing a Save As of your first project and then tweaking it a bit >

Detailed Description

<yes, you can make your project, save it as stationary #1, make some tweaks to the same project, save it as stationary #2. But now let’s say you want to refine stationary #1. You are out of luck. You have to “undo” the changes you made to the project between stationary #1 and #2 (if you remember what they were). You can’t import stationary #1 into ePublisher pro to get it back so that you can modify it.

My point here, is that it would be nice to be able to have multiple ePublisher Pro projects going at once, and be able to easily do a Save As of the entire ePublisher pro project. So that you could start with a “base” project, call it Project #1, and save it as Stationary #1. Then save the entire ePublishher pro project as a new one (Project #2), make some tweaks, and save that as Stationary #2. Now you can go back to EITHER Project #1 or Project #2, and make changes to either Stationary #1 or Stationary #2. Or, for example, let’s say you want to experiment with some different output formats. It would be nice to start with Project #1 (since it has all your “regular” styles/formats in it), and save it as Experimental Project #3. Now you can fool around trying different things in Experimental Project #3, without messing up your real project (Project #1).

So, a “Save as” feature in ePublisher pro would facilitate the scenarios above. Or, as an alternative, the ability to import a saved stationary into your ePublisher Pro project, so that you could go back to an older version, if needed. >
