Or their UI design folks making idiot, IDIOT *I D I O T* design

overwrite a function with SAVE if you remember the exact name, but if
don't and you scroll for it and select it, kablam!!! Your hard-won
new settings are gone, overwritten the old ones.

I don't ever recall a Save As. If you want to svae as a new name, you type
the new name in the title feild and hit Save.

Yup, SF8 and previous versions.

Typing a new name name and hitting "save" is fine.

But that's only half the story (in my workflow, about 10% of the story).

If you want to OVERWRITE an existing preset (say you fined-tuned some params) and do
NOT want to lose the new settings to be saved, you're screwed if you don't remember
the name exactly -- or you're faced with a lot of unnecessary extra work, doing
things that the machine should do, and as it DID DO before SaveAs was removed.

The irony is that this appears to be systemic in SF9. You can "cross use" processing
functions between SF8 and 9. Exact same plug-in code in 8 has SaveAs; when rendered
in 9 SaveAs is gone.

You can make an argument to remove an obscure function from the UI, but removing
something as basic and utilitarian SaveAs is just plain dumb.
