How to do a 'Save As' with B4a

I use File - Export to Zip to seal my current version.

I copy the whole project folder to another one and work on it.

I don't know why there isn't a Save-As -- really strange.

Here's how I do it:
1. Load my app into B4A,
2. Go into a file manager and change the file name on the disk, then
3. Do a Save in B4A to the original file name.

And of course if I want to edit under the new file name, I have to load it into B4A; otherwise, the old file name is already loaded and ready to edit.

Not being careful, e.g. in the early morning, one might be getting more than one project with the same filename...Happened to me.

Meanwhile, as a newbie:
Before doing the first change of the day:
CtrlA, copy, paste into notepad++.
Later when the file has been ruined by having done changes using code fragments with unforeseen consequences (what is the case usually) I repeat the same and paste into a newly opened window in notepad++. A "compare" uncovers nicely what all has been changed (except for changes done in designer, unfortunately) and I can revert specifically.
Doing that in addition to saving as .zip, every day.
