129356 - Publish is dimmed out after Edit page from server and Save

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 134311

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[sujay]

using 3/6 build

1) launch netscape
2) edit any page on any web server
3) Save As, give it a file name
4) exit composer
5) launch composer again
6) open that file you just saved

notice that at this point, Publish is dimmed out. It shouldn't
be.

The Save button is also disabled, right? The Save and Publish commands both
reflect the modified state of the document. So you should use "Publish As" to 
publish a local file. If the "Publish" item was enabled, that is the action it
would take anyway.
I suppose we could make an exception and keep "Publish" enabled all the time for
local documents.

If Publish is going to be enabled when editing a local file (which could be
reasonable), then Save should also be enabled when editing a remote file.

I think this is fine but we shouldn't worry about it for this milestone.

Save isn't available when editing a remote file :)

Comment 4

I wonder if we should hide the "Publish" menuitem when editing a local file!

No, I don't think the Publish menu item should just disappear.  Just like I
don't think the Save menu item should just disappear if you are editing a remote
page.

I am happy with the current behavior for mozilla 1.0.  I think Sujay is also ok
with it.

Post 1.0, I think we should consider enabling them and making them do their "as"
counterparts.

This issue is now addressed in bug 134311. I am restoring the "Publish" menuitem
when editing local files and it will always be enable when editing local files.
