Save to URL icon functions differently than ctrl-s keystroke

[wjh7v@virginia.edu]

My teams was having trouble when they opened up several remote files at the same time. The "Save to URL" icon would pop up the FTP/Webdav window, but the selected file would be the last file to opened through FTP, which was not necessarily the file to be saved. Of course, we could navigate through FTP to the appropriate filename, but on a few occasions people have overwritten files and it's caused some mayhem. HOWEVER, the "save" keystroke, ctrl-s, does not function in this manner. the ctrl-s save seems to remember the remote address for each file and saves it to the correct file name (in other words, not the last remote address to be opened). Now that we've discovered this, everyone is using the keystroke.

My question: shouldn't the "Save to URL" icon function the same as ctrl-s and select the remote address from which the file was opened, NOT the last remote address which was opened?

Hi,

No, they are different actions: CTRL-S is the shortcut for Save. If you want to save an edited file always use the Save action. Save to URL is a kind of Save as option but it handles FTP and WebDAV. Maybe the action name should be changed to better reflect this.
