While this is already possible via "File" -> "Save As" (or Ctrl+Shift+S), I think it might be helpful to add an additional button "Save as" in that dialog as well. This would also help avoid users accidently overwriting the original file. (Evince, for example only offers a "Save As" option and users switching between the two programs might not be aware of the difference at once.)
  
  
  I disagree, does libreoffice suggest "Save As" when you do open an existing file, do some changes and close the app? Do you know of any program that does offer "Save As" in that situation?

  That makes sense and is again what libreoffice does for example, will add.
