is there a document "SaveAs" function using JS

[eboda_snaf]

hi there,

understand that Save is different from SaveAs function but i could not find the "SaveAs" function using javascripingt.

There's a Save and saveACopy function but not saveAs.

Is saveACopy equivalent to SaveAs? what's the difference between the two?

Thank you.

Cheers

libreoffice - What is the difference between "Save as" and "Save a copy"? - Ask Ubuntu

"Save as..." vs. "Save a copy..."

The difference is mentioned in the comments of the to:File parameter for these two functions.

save ("Save the document"): Where to save the document. If the document is already saved, a copy is saved at this path, the original file is closed the new copy is opened

saveACopy ('Saves a copy of the document"): The file path for the copy. Note: Leaves the original document open and does not open the copy

(my emphasis)

TLDR: "save" without a "to" parameter is the UI's "Save" menu command. "save" with a "to" parameter is the UIs "Save As" menu command. "saveACopy" is the UIs "Save a Copy" menu command.

thanks for the reply..

I do know that SaveAs is better than Save but i can't find the AsSave function using JS?

(There's Save and saveACopy function not SaveAs)

From the object model viewer:

Document.save (to: File , stationery: Boolean , versionComments: string , forceSave: Boolean 😞 Document

Adobe InDesign CC 2017 (11.0) Object Model

Save the document

to: Data Type: File

Where to save the document. If the document is already saved, a copy is saved at this path, the original file is closed the new copy is opened (Optional)

When you omit [to] you do a Save. When you specify a [to] you do a Save As

...???? I already told you. Let me highlight it:

TLDR: "save" without a "to" parameter is the UI's "Save" menu command. "save" with a "to" parameter is the UIs "Save As" menu command. "saveACopy" is the UIs "Save a Copy" menu command.
