Hello, Tomasz:

As you know, I would like the Save process changed, but there is also an
important feature which is currently missing. So, when you update AmiBroker's
Save feature, the following changes are needed:

- change the "Right-Amiga-S" combo to initiate a Save
- add an incremental Save, which allows Saving only changed files
- keep the current Save, which forces a Save All Files, no matter what
- add an Abort Save
- add a Save As..., which allows Saving the current database in another
location

The "Save As..." is a feature which I wish was available in the current
version. A database is Loaded now which I am not allowed to Save because the
OS or AmiBroker (or something else) doesn't recognise the disk as the same
disk from which the database was originally Loaded. Because that disk had
write errors, I formatted the partition. I thought I would be able to rename
it and create a drawer for the database and have AmiBroker find it and Save
properly. Foolish me! But if I had a Save As..., then I should be able to Save
it wherever I wished, right? Save As... would also be useful for people who
may have started a database on a floppy disk, but who have now added too much
data to fit onto it.

Is there anything that can be done to make AmiBroker Save this database now,
or do I have to recreate it?
