126274 - File > Publish As brings up same thing as File > Publish

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

found using 2002.02.18.10 comm bits on linux rh7.2.

seems that there are two menu items that do the same thing. should one of them
be removed, or are they supposed to do different things?

1. select File > Publish > Publish [see also bug 126272 for this submenu
redundancy]. this brings up the publish and settings dialog.
2. select File > Publish As. this also brings up the publish and settings dialog
--at the same tab even.

Sorry I wasn't clearer about this one.
This is NOT a problem if you are editing a new document (about:blank)
In the case of "about:blank" choosing "save" will give you the save as dialog.
This is working the same way as that.

If you are editing something like:  http://www.mozilla.org/index.html
and choosing "publish" is bringing up the dialog, that *IS* a bug.

If you are editing something like:  file:///mydrive/myfolder/myfile.html
then publish should be disabled.
