Re: [Usability] gedit's Save A Copy

[Kirk Bridger <kbridger shaw ca>]

Save A Copy == Save A Copy As A New File

The former is more succinct, the latter is more clear.

We need new terms perhaps?  Or do we compromise, and if so on what?

I agree Export has it's own meaning, but frankly Save A Copy kinda
scares me a bit too, as it is rather ambiguous in today's terminology.
