Welp... one more reason to pine and envy.
 
Cheers.

Yup, Beeps, the reasons just keep piling up...    
 
BTW, Pine & Envy sounds like a book/movie title or something.

I'm pretty sure 'Pine & Envy' is a wine 

Well that one passed me by. Great feature which suits my workflow perfectly

Always learning - I don't realize how much I don't know until I find out I don't know - I concur "Great Feature"

i do have a tendancy to be a bit of a cork sniffer...

Though it is a small feature, it's indicative of a very thoughtfully designed UI.  Most developers would slap the standard Save As on the menu and call it good.  

I've found it really odd that in X3 and before, if you Save As'd, you would not then find yourself in the new project, like every other windows software I use.
 
Save Copy As is what it should have been called, so I see this as fixing an oddity.
 
So Save As has now changed function from X3 to S2015 ?  That'll surprise a few.

Nothing has changed. If I "Save as'd" in earlier versions I was in the new project. That's the same behaviour now for that command, "Save copy as.." has added to the save possibilities by leaving you working in the current project having just saved a new one. Great time saver for me, I probably end up with 15+ landmarks on a typical project.

When I'm working on a project, I routinely save the file with a name, project date, and sequential revision letter. I also update the Project Info as to what has been added modified in the previous revision. This way if a file gets corrupted, I can go back to the previous revision and continue on. 
 
With the "save copy as" feature, isn't it the same workflow except that the project name you're working on won't have a revision letter?

I don't get it.  Before writing the above, I first retried it out to make sure.  On my X3eP, and I'm pretty sure my previous X2aP, if I Save As, I remain in the original project - while a copy with the new name is indeed created in the background.
 
Either that, or the window title doesn't get updated, but that would be problematic as you wouldn't know where you were.
