Save as does not save in LDCad 1.5?

[Philippe Hurbain]

If so, isn't that a bit undesired and not user-friendly?

Yes, it would report:

Code:

05876 | 2016-05-31_18:18:09 | Progress | LDraw file save | C:\Users\Roland\Documents\dddd.mpd | Starting
05877 | 2016-05-31_18:18:09 | Progress | LDraw file save | C:\Users\Roland\Documents\dddd.mpd | Main content has no changes, will not save to "C:\Users\Roland\Documents\dddd.mpd"
05878 | 2016-05-31_18:18:09 | Progress | LDraw file save | C:\Users\Roland\Documents\dddd.mpd | Done

But that's because it's a bug   just not the one we're looking for taking into account Jaco's reports.

It comes from the snap info editing changes I made where you would only want the shadow file to be saved leaving the original .dat unmodified timestamp wise. it is easily fixed though.

OK, what I see is exactly this issue, "save as" doesn't do anything if nothing was changed in the file. The difference in behaviour between the two files (one is saved and not the other) is that one contains a rubber band that is regenerated, thus triggering a modification. And indeed the log file (hopefully the right one is attached this time!) shows
