Ok, maybe I need to clarify. I have to jump through more hoops/steps in order to do these things.

Before: Click "save as" > update name = two files.

Now: Click "duplicate" > wait for the duplicate to appear over the old window > click "save" > update name = two files.

Something like twice as many steps are required, now.

This isn't like Microsoft Word's "Fast Save" or whatever it was called where you could find evidence of previous revisions of the file. That said, if you want to keep a completely self-contained snapshot of your file at a given point, duplicate the file and name it accordingly.

That's what I was thinking, too. In that case, if that file becomes corrupt, you're screwed. Where as with using save-as like many of us used to do, we're automatically creating redundancy (although slightly out of date) on the fly.
