It is hard to describe 'Untitled' as an innovation since it is used by
major applications everywhere.

"Untitled" is an innovation. Currently untitled documents carry the
activity name.

Hi, All
I don't understand why this has to be so difficult. If you have ever
used an MS Office or Libre Office application, you know that you have
the option to save and the option to save as. This means that you can
'save', overwriting the document stored on disk (updating it) or save
as, meaning you can store it as a new document with the name and
location of your choosing.
In the case of Sugar, the document will be stored in the Journal so
the user has no need or opportunity to choose a location. However,
there is still a need to be able to 'save' or 'save as' .
Consider:
You open Paint and create a red X and save it as x. Then you open x
and change the image to a blue O. You want to save it as O, so you
change the name.
Now try to open X. It is gone.
Suppose you open Paint to show someone how to select a brush and give
it a color. You scribble something. When asked for a name, you click
on 'quit' because there is not need to save this image.
The alert should be simple:
*Please give your project a title. [Untitled] Save Quit*
The default title is 'Untitled' not 'Write.activity'. If the user
clicks save with the title unchanged, it is ignored. If the user
clicks on Quit, the activity quits (with no save of the Document -
but the metadata is saved). if the user resumes an activity the alert
shows:
*Change the title to save as a new document [X] Save Quit*
The user changes the title [X] to [Y]. Then Save saves Y to the
Journal and X is still in the Journal as well. If the user doesn't
change and clicks Save, the X object is deleted and the new X version
is saved. if the user clicks on Quit - the document is not saved, the
original X document is in the Journal
and the activity quits.
