Hi Eric,

thanks for your response. My comments below:

Fixed.

In fact, APV have only "save" and "save all" operations, there is no "save as...".
Using second action you can modify several annotations on the same selection and save them all. 
I'm agree with hot keys and I'll add CTRL+S and CTRL+SHIFT+S to save current and save all actions
(Bug 239551).

Agree, will be fixed (Bug 239557).

Completely agree (Bug 239558).

Okay, I'll look how it can be done.
