Comment 1 for bug 381091

Good point!

Actually this is a design decision what to do with variables (such as width, height, folder, type, ...) during multiple saves. I've been thinking already about this during Phatch 0.1

I thought of three strategies:

1) keep old, prefix new
- keep the variables of the original source file with the original names
- add the variables with the prefix "new." to the newly saved files

2) prefix old, keep new
- store the variables of the original source file with the prefix "source.", "base." or "old."
- keep the variables of the original source file with the original names

3) index variables with suffix
- original variables gets suffix ".0"
- second saved file gets suffix ".1"
(of course variables without suffix are still valid and than we should decide if it is the latest or the first file)

Maybe my preference is 3, but I am curious to hear your opinions.

What do you expect when in one action list you save 3 times with different sizes in percentages (like for icons)? I think it needs to be of the last save otherwise features like text offset with % will be broken.

I'll post this issue to discuss it on our mailing list (Some patience, I'm just waiting for Robin to register).
