--- Comment #4 from Mike <[email protected]> ---
I have just lost a very important file. First, windows gave me 15minutes to
save everything - so huge number of "Untitled" files got saved. Then as I went
to rename then I opened a file, saved it as the proper name in the proper
directory but when I deleted the "original" it wasn't and bang went a whole lot
of work.

It's now so bad, that often I will open a file, check I want to delete and have
to check it another time.

The point is that I NEED to see what I'm deleting and/or renaming.

I was explaining this to someone. Often I do research and pick a piece from
here a piece from there and put them into documents. So, I may have ten or more
documents open at a time. And obviously I like to regularly save, but I'm never
really certain what the "document" is until I've found a lot of things and can
think of a name for them.

However, because I have so many documents with names like "notes 1", it is a
real pain trying to work out which is which - so if I save as and then delete 
the likelihood of deleting the wrong one is far too high.

And, just to emphasise the point. The literal meaning of "save as", does not
mean "create a new document", but save the current document with the new name.
So, "save as" really should be called "Save new as".

So, whilst I can see the problem with locks, PLEASE PLEASE provide an option so
that I can rename when doing "save as".

ALSO - with only 10 files on the history list, and around 20 files open at any
one time - if I use "save as" the files I'm working on get kicked off the list
as there are now two versions of each file in the history (of which one is
deleted).
