The "save as form..." seems to work incorrectly. If I save my current form
"save form as..." with a new name, it keeps the old name in the title on top
left. It should change the name since it is the newer form I am working on,
not the old one in the title. So what this means is that if I am working on
FormA-ver3 and add some questions and save form as... FormA-ver4, then when
I do an export to XML file, the file wants to be called FormA-ver3.xml but
in fact is my ver4. Further, even if I change the file name (knowing that it
is really my version 4), the interior of the file has the tag
<h:title>FormA-ver3</h:title>. I think this would all be solved by changing
the name of the form when one does a "save form as..." command.
hey curtis,
when you save as, it saves a copy of the form, but keeps you in your
current form. you can confirm this when you go to file, open form. i
believe this is working as clint intended, but it does go against what
most regular apps do.
i agree that it is confusing. i've filed a bug

I'll fix it with the next update, which won't be for another two or three weeks.
