"Save copy as" option

[Dominique Delande]

At least kate, kile, kwrite, kbibtex (apps that I often use, Debian 
Stretch version) offer the option "Save copy as". Outside KDE, 
libreoffice also has a similar option "Save a copy".
As I explained, the difference - to the best of my knowledge- is the 
default directory: the one where the file is for "Save as", the last one 
used for "Save copy as".
As the "Save copy as" option existed in earlier version of okular, I 
understand that it was a design choice to remove it.
I find it a poor choice, and would appreciate if it is reverted. Of 
course, the developers decide |-).

Best regards

Dominique

Then just add it as a favorite for your left bar, it will be one click 
away from that point on

It doesn't start on /tmp, it starts where the file is.

Really? Can you explain what is the difference between "Save as" and 
"Save copy as"? And can you give me another application that has those 
two options?
