Quoting Victor Kane <victorkane@gmail.com>:
Certainly what you write is food for thought.
But, surely, a "save and continue" button could be placed in as an option?
Because the fundamental thing here, and this is not just a single case, is for Drupal to continue to grow as a web application framework. The absence of this option (even the frugal gmail interface includes a "Save Now" button as I write this) keeps Drupal in the "web" corner and doesn't allow it to be seen as a full fledged "application".
Of course, modules such as autosave help here; but I do not think that a save and continue button is a single case; certainly it should be an option for all content types.
A save now button makes sense where it is left unpublished regardless of the workflow setting. This should be easily accomplished but so is dropping down the workflow and unmarking the radio button. Earnie
