Re: [udig-devel] project interceptors + export

you can don't belive me but I'm a little bit touched !
I've spent plenty of my time to explain to my newby users why there isn't a "save as" command in udig, now I shouldn't have to do this !

Alright, I have created the "save project as" entry in the file menu
(also added the project close icon that seemed to be missing).

Going to commit that in one single changeset, so it can be easily
reviewed and in case backed out if there are issues.

Attached a screen of how that looks like. I think it is ok and users
will have less confusion.

Comments welcome,
Andrea
