When I encountered the issue where LiveCode Create would freeze in the Browser when I was trying to resize a small graphic circle that çs smaller than and in front of a larger graphic circle I lost all my edits to my project since I opened it.
My habit with past versions of LiveCode is that when I am going to add a new feature or trying different way of doing something with the stack (project) I save a copy of the stack as a backup before I go on and make these additions or changes. I normally would do this in the desktop LiveCode app with the ‘Save as…’ menu item under the ‘File’ menu and then nameing the file with a revision # and the current date and time. This is my poor man’s versioning tool. If I make some changes that totally render my project / (stack) unfunctional I can go back to my last saved backup duplicate that as the main project stack and continue.
After the first time the stack froze and I lost what I had been writing. So I had to quit and reopen LiveCode Create and then I tried to either Save as… or Duplicate. to make my copy.
The problem is I could not find any way to do that. In the My Projects window each project had the Three ••• aligned vertically signifying more options only had these three options
Rename Project
Delete Project
Duplicate project–– NEW
Export to Classic
The first ask in this feature request is to add a 'Duplicate Project’ item which would first prompt for a Project name and once that is entered and accepted create a copy of a project stored in the user’s Projects folder.
The second ask is to add a 'Save as…" menu item to the LiveCode menu at the upper left.
