I'm not sure if this is possible in a Java application, both rather than having a blank Save As: field, when File>Save As... is selected, it would be so useful to have the Save As: field auto-filled with the name of the current file.

Admittedly, this may only be standard behaviour for Apple/macOS applications - I'm not sure (that is to say, I can't remember) how Windows or Linux handles this.

The reasoning is that imagine you are working on a file called MyProject_v.1.0.4.5, and you want to save a new version of the. layout called MyProject_v.1.0.4.6 (i.e. change the minor version number). Currently, you have to either:

After a while, of saving multiple copies, having to do one of the above steps becomes a little tiresome. It is much quicker if the Save As: field is auto-filled in (with the current filename) and you just have to change the minor version number.
