One approach would be to give the user the ability to select multiple vectors to save. A checkbox would allow them to specify whether each vector is saved to a different file (the filename would be the vector name, with an optional prefix, e.g. <prefix><vector name>.dat) or to the same file with the data interpolated to a specified vector, or to the highest resolution vector. Sounds good. Yes, please do that, but allow to add a header line with vector names on top of the plot, especially when all vectors are saved to one file. I'm working on the ASCII datasource config options, and it should allow to read such files easily in the near future, which is much more convenient than reading/maintaining multiple files (one per vector). CVS commit by staikos: Make the vector save dialog capable of saving multiple vectors. They are saved as columns to the same file, and a header is written with the vector names. This exposes a bug in the ascii reader which I will investigate next.
