Save/load menu item suggestions
I've found (some of) the discussion about Save/Load menu items, which had
already been recorded in Bugzilla:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23780
To summarise, the suggestion was to have the following functionality:
1) Clear the existing test plan, after prompting to save it
This is the current New behaviour.
It would be better to rename this as "Close", as it does not create a New
plan.
2) Read a file into the existing tree
This is the current Open behaviour, but it would be better to name it
"Merge".
3) Clear plan (prompt to save) and read new test plan.
This is new functionality, which could be called "Open".
However, Open currently does something different, so it might be better to
use a different name.
New could be resurrected later if multiple test plans were to be supported.
OK?
Sebastian

These have been implemented:
New has been replaced by Close. This means that ^N no longer works; I replaced it with ^L. This can be changed.
Open (which was implemented in Load.java) now calls close before loading the file.
A new Merge menu option has been added (this is the old Load code).
Hope they're OK ...

I would also vote to keep Open as the current behavior. Close makes sense to me, so + on that.

I would not bother to keep a "Merge" -- although it doesn't harm much
with that name. It's functionality would not be obvious, even worse if
we supported opening multiple test plans. Plus it's already handled at
the pop-up/edit menu level.
Backward compatibility is nice to keep, but should not become a
roadblock when the old stuff is so poor. And you must admit that the GUI
is probably the poorest area of JMeter -- which is not too surprising
since JMeter users (and hence JMeter developers) are mostly server-side
people.
