[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44177] GUI fltk file options inappropriate or not available

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #44177 (project octave):

I'm working on this now for Qt plotting.  I'll save the filename in the figure
object somehow.  Guidata seems like an OK thing do use, except that someone
might already be using it and it doesn't seem to be allowed to have a name. 
So setting appdata on the figure handle with the name __save_filename__ (or
similar) seems like a more reasonable thing because it shouldn't conflict with
something a user does.  Or, we can just add a hidden __save_filename__
property to the figure properties.

The output format can (mostly) be detected from the file name, but should
there also be some way to specify print options?  For example, saving to
"foo.ps" will generate a monochrome plot by default.  How to select the -dpsc
device instead?
