The "Save as" option in the menu saves the current project. 
Whereas the Save button in the burn dialog saves the burn settings.
Hope that helps.

:-) Well, I believe those were intentions, but when I say "nothing happens" --> nothing happens. As you can see above there was no project named, so I assume k3b should ask me about the name, right?

Btw. I am talking about save from burn dialog, not from the menu.

No, just read the toolip for the save button. It is intended to save the settings to the project not the project to a file. Maybe the button should be renamed to avoid confusion.
Any ideas?

I am confused what it really does, because I can still see no difference close vs. save. And there is no feedback at all (no save dialog either).

sure not. The settings you made in the burn dialog are saved int the current 
project. Try it: open the burn dialog, change a setting, click close, open it 
again and you will see: it is back to default. Then use the save button and 
open the dialog again.

I tried it before exactly like you describe. 0.12.17 --> save = close.

I turned off "burn on fly" for a test, I clicked save, I clicked burn again, this option was turned on. 

Sorry, but I don't believe that. That is an essential feature of K3b which I 
use regularly (and just tried again) and it always worked.

Riiight ;-) Burner off, start k3b, new cd project, add any file, burn, "create cd image" is on, turn it off, save, burn again --> voila.

I guess screenshots would not help since I could lie even there...

ok, now I also tried without a burner and it still works... 
I would love to help you there but I cannot reproduce it...

Could maybe someone else try this?

Seems to work here, so just to clarify:
The burn settings are only saved per project, not as global defaults.
What I did:
1) open k3b
2) start new cd project
3) add some files
4) start burn dialog
5) change some settings (like simulate, only create image)
6) click save
7) start burn dialog again
The same settings are still the same.
Even if I save the project and reopen it, the settings are still ok

If I start a _new_ project, the burn settings show up unmodified (i.e. the deafults)

and that is the exact intended behaviour.

Christoph, Sebastian -- what version do you use? Should I attach images or what? :-)

I use 0.12.17. Images might help, maybe we are testing something you are not trying to do.

1.

k3b started, new cd, one file added --> burn

2

"only create image" unchecked, nothing else, just that one click

from (2) I clicked save, burn again and you can see this dialog. Compare to (1)
-- they are identical (I didn't save 1.png twice, I deliberately made two
screenshots in case there are some differences I couldn't spot).

now I get it: this is a special case. If there is no burner in 0.12.x k3b 
auto-selectes the image-only checkbox because that is the only useful choice. 
This is not the case in 1.0 anymore due to the new medium-instead-of-device 
selection

I don't argue, just for the record -- not true. After several changes of changes, I would like save the project and use it later.

Which leads us to the main subject -- "save" :-) My suggestions:
save --> keep changes, keep, OK, keep & close
close --> cancel

Or something like this
( burn )



-- close dialog ---
( keeping changes )
( cancel changes )

So the burn and (current) close/save buttons would be a bit more separated.

I don't get it.

Which part?

The whole thing. I would love to understand your suggestion but I am a little slow today...

Since we clear the thing with non-working "save" button, I get back to your question and answered it. What to do to avoid confusion. The first part is just renaming, the second involves also physical separation of the buttons. I could make a fake screenshot to clarify the latter part.

yes, please. A mockup would be good.

mockup

extremely rough idea (sorry for the artistic quality but I don't know gimp too
well)

now I get it.

SVN commit 600421 by trueg:

Better suited button text and icons. It is maybe still a little much (let's face it: the project dialogs
have 6 buttons!) but now it should be a little more obvious than before.

The save button is now called Close while Close has become Cancel. And both have nice tooltips.
