Shouldn't "save as" always bring up the name of the current project?

Shouldn't "save as" always bring up the name of the current project?

I have to type it in every time.

That would depend on the application - I think some do populate the name so you can edit it, but then there is a risk of accidentally overwriting the original file so perhaps that is why DS doesn't populate the name field with the current one.

I recommend V3D Super Save. Save Incremental Pro is wonderful. I assign a keyboard shortcut to it. It will save a file with the same name as your open scene but append _001, etc., incrementing the suffex each time you use it.

Yes, it should. To make the program behave like other programs leverages prior knowledge and reduces the chance of inadvertent error. Furthermore if you are going to save a file under a new name/version it is most likely that you're going to save it in the same directory as the current one. Conventions are there for a reason - they save time. Regards, Richard.
