[Qgis-developer] Save selection as

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi,
Irrespective of which is the way to do it (I lean toward checking it when there's a selection), I'd suggest that the behaviour should be consistent. So either this default be changed, or the field calculator one be, otherwise you end up with confused users.

Cheers,
Jonathan

But I don't have a opinion on it - there's probably no save default for it.  In that way having the two menu entries might have been better.
