drfgui: better handling of save file names #49

Closed dsavransky closed 8 years ago

dsavransky commented 8 years ago

The current way the filenames are auto-generated for the DRFGUI based on the current time is not very user friendly. Specifically, if you try to resave a file a second time even without making any edits, because the filename is derived from the time the second save will go to a new filename. This is not how users expect File | Save to work in pretty much any other application. You should have to select File | Save As... in order to change the filename. The regular File | Save option should always reuse the last used filename.

Isn't DRFGUI deprecated? Current GPI DRP save behavior does not behave like this so should not be an issue.

DRFGUI is now called the Recipe Editor but it's the same code base (years later and variously improved)

Thanks for the housekeeping on all these @semaphoreP
