No inconvenience,
I have worked in many (6 organisations and many departments) where documents
are named according to a version of the document as it is released either for
review or final acceptance.
In order to manage this the following elements are often used:
1. File name has a version umber in it
2. Title page has version in it
3. Footer has version in it

So what I am after is a way to do a few things in one easy step.
During a save As operation I would like to allow an incrementation of the
version of the documet, this would need to do the following based on the
version numbers adjusted in the Save As dialog:
1. Adjust the file name so the vern.n section is updated to the new numbers
e.g. filenme-ver1.1.odt
2. Update the document field/varible named DocVersion to the same value
3. Update all the fields in the document that use that variable to the new
value.

Otherwise you get a situation that I have seen a lot over the years where the
file name version and the version numbers in the document are all out of sync.

Obviously adding a true document version (same as using the version dialog) at
the same time might also be worth including or optional.
