[TYPO3-hci] Save as

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Hi Andreas,

I like the idea! However, its not a priority at this point. At some  
point I would like to investigate the usability of our TCEforms. This  
will include what the buttons are called etc. For instance I found  
that when people create a new record, they look for the "Create"  
button, not the "Save" button - that they looked for when they wanted  
to save something existing they edited.

Anyway, the SAve as button would of course simply create a copy of  
the element in chosen location and overwriting with any changes made.  
It may be a simpler way to make a copy. People seem to happily copy  
existing pages as templates for new pages and why not offer this  
funcitonality as a "Save as".

Could you for now search the wiki for hte place where I put  
information about "Create" and "Save" buttons , probably new the  
TCEform section and add your idea there. Then we can process it later  
on.
