Again, happy to answer but first want to make sure you are clear of the basics: NEITHER is the same as moving, renaming, or labeling of a file. That is what we were discussing before you moved the topic to Duplicating vs. Save / Save As.owlowlSnit
So "duplicate" makes a duplicate but doesn't delete the original, and "save as" creates a copy and doesn't delete the original; but "duplicate" and "save as" "do different things." Granny is confused.
First, with no sarcasm or insult, I commend you for admitting to an area of computing you are ignorant about. All too often in COLA people see that as a weakness and refuse to do so. You have little experience with such systems... and even if you did you still might not know.
But before we get to the differences, I want to make sure you realize that we are now talking about multiple features here:
* Renaming a file (which can be done open or not) * Moving a file (which can be done open or not) * Labeling a file (which can be done open or not) * Duplicating a file (which can be done open or not) * Saving a file (which can only be done if open) * Saving as a new file (which can only be done if open)
What is the difference between "duplicating" an open file and "save as"?
I can also zoom with control+scroll wheel... but easier and more control to do so in post production.owlI might look into that at some point, but all post production stuff is probably more effort than I want to put into these things.Snit
Fair enough... I have to keep in mind that you use a system where such things are not as easy. What you produce is fine and, given the limitations, the way you zoomed makes sense.
I believe compositing window managers have a facility for zooming, but I'm not using one of those.
