If the program is doing what it is "supposed to" from a programming
stand point, it is not a defect.
If the program is not logical or intuitive, that is and RFE.
Without warning? Its says VERY clearly on the help screens - set
offwith a large exclamation mark to warn the user:
If you save a copy of a file that contains version
information (by choosing File - Save As), the version
information is not saved with the file.
While I understand the original poster's complaint/request, I must
disagree with his statement that the current methodology is a "bug".
As versions of a document created using OOo are retainable in the
".odt" document, nothing is actually lost, and I therefore do not see a
bug.
After looking at the code for a few days to see what could be done to
add the enhancement (call it an exercise in curiosity), I can see that
this would not be a simple, easy, or automatically-problem-free
enhancement. Especially for folks like me who use the "save as"
feature routinely to get rid of info which might be saved in a retained
version of the original in order to give the "clean" copy to somebody
else.
(And BTW, this is also used by a lot of folks with whom I work using
msword under win2k/nt/xp - which has exactly the same behavior...)
Personally I'd rather see the effort which might be required on this
feature spent on some other, more pressing problem.
