As to the "Save As" situation: In current development series, this is solved a bit differently. When saved with save as, the new file name is set as the current one (only if the new path is in the album hierarchy), so you will "save" to this. The newly saved image, however, is not reloaded, but the data is untouched, i.e. compression effects are not visible as long as the file is kept open in the image editor. (In fact, the in-memory representation is almost completely agnostic of the format it is loaded from or saved to).

Currently, all this is absolutely intransparent to the user. While it will certainly be mentioned in the docs, I have been thinking of a way how to notify the user of some of these facts:
- he is working on the new image
- he is _not_ working on the new image, if saved outside album hierarchy
- compression artefacts are not visible
- saving is/is not lossless
