Description florianbecker1972 2016-05-18 15:44:42 UTC

Please add a function to save the current document with an increasing number in the document name. 
Because of security and safety reasons i cannt overwrite always the document i am working with. so i have more and idfferent documents like 
"xy.doc"
"xy2.doc"
"xy3.doc"
etc...

So if i press the new function "Save with increasing Number" or something it looks the last number in the filename, increases it and saves it. 
that saves a lot of time !

thanks

I guess you could customize it to your liking.

If you like it, we could close this report, right? Macros exist so there wouldn't be an infinite amount of feature requests..

Hi,
yes something like that. but i dont understand why not include this. i mean thats about the safety about the documents, which is one of the most important things in an editing program....who knows about macros?

I agree with Buovjaga that this should not be a core feature as it is fitted for one very special use case.
You really can accomplish that with a few lines of basic in a macro. That's why we have macros.
