We took away the "Save As" option because of the many difficult issue that came
from trying to use "Save As" to do an export to a different format. However, a
reasonable solution might be to allow "Save As" only within the current format
type. To keep it really simiple, we might only allow it for file-formats such
as Shapefile, Mapinfo, etc.

Good suggestion, only allow save as for "files" and only for same type as
currently in use. That gives backward compatibility for legacy users and
doesn't break anything in the complex data base exports.

SaveAs is updated as following attached graph. Let me know if you have any
comments.
User can specify SaveAs to another datasource with same format. e.g. shapefile
SaveAs shapefile only.
User can also Create a project file with newly created datasource.
User can only SaveAs project file.

I like the design, but I just updated the trunk, recompiled and it failed my
very first test. Here's what I did:
1) Open columbus_shpfile.gda
2) Delete a column as a test change
3) Choose "Save As" and specify new datasource and project names:
columbus_shpfile_1.gda and columbus_1.shp both within the same directory.
4) Error message appears "Failed to open data source. ...."

Can press "Save" button when one of the checked fields has a blank/invalid
input. No failure message appears, rather says "Save success".
