BUG: v20, Windows 7 x64. Fails to save edited file

"Save as" is a less efficient operation than saving under the same name. I haven't timed it but I would expect a big difference.

I was bothered by the episode because the time all went into the editor creating that completely unneeded --and disc-choking-- intermediate file.  I'm fairly sure it didn't start creating it til I called save-as, at which point it should have known it wasn't needed.

At least now I know why the saves failed:  there wasn't enough space on any of the disks to create that huge thing.

For v21, I've added an optimization for the save-as case (not the keep original name case), so that it is just as fast and efficient as saving under the same name for a huge file.
