Saving Template from a chart should default to current

[GaryAlbers]

If a chart has had a template loaded then there should be a menu option that says 'Save' (in addition to 'Save As'). 'Save As' implies what you are saving is new or you are changing the name. 'Save' means save what is current. This is an accepted convention in windows.

Sometimes, when I am experimenting with different templates and I finally find the one I want, change it and try to save it, I now have to remember which one I was working on because the list is defaulted to the first template alphabetically. Ninja already knows which one was loaded so it should allow me to just 'Save' it.

Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,

I will forward your suggestion to our development team and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations for the software.

Thank you for taking time to post your feedback.

Gary,

I was just going to post this request. let me add my voice to yours.

I agree, NT should default to the last template saved. What a pain in the backside having to keep reselecting each template everytime you want to save changes.

One more thing NT could either answer or fix. When a template is in use, wouldn't it be nice if its name was displayed somewhere.
You can display the indicators defined in the template with the popup box. Couldn't you add a field in this box with the template name, or put the template name on the main display somewhere?

Better yet, put it in both places.


Thanks for listening,

Hello Rjay,

I will forward your suggestion to reflect the template name in the chart to our development team as well and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations for the software.
