This is rather annoying especially if I want to save out two different versions. Why is there no save as in the menu? I would really appreciate if you could add one.

+1 for "Save As...".
I can see Erels point but what if I'm working with the same classes/project files. For example I usually keep a working file and a play file. One is the working version which I can come back to if I mess up my play file. I know version control could solve this problem but just adding "save as" is my simple way of handling it.
B4A Projects are made of many files. So what should happen if the user selects "Save as"? Just save the main activity with another filename? Thats useless.
If you want to make a backup of your current project export it to ZIP and you are fine. If you want to copy your project then make a copy of the whole folder.

I try to remember to make a copy of the whole project folder before i make changes. But many times i forget or find that i should have made a backup but did not because i did not expect tot make important changes.
An automatic backup at loading a project would be helpfull. Save as would do fine also. As long as i am able tot go back to the polder version.

Thats a straw man's argument.

Why not duplicate most of the zip function by copying all of the files and folders to a new folder instead of an zip file? Zip files require the extra step of extracting the files to a folder if you for instance want to run the new and old side by side.
One man's pointless is another man's way of doing things. I thought we have have moved on in software design from the days of making the user jump hoops to conform to the programmer's way of doing things. Good design is when everything is obvious which generally separates mobile design from desktop apps which often include a 2mb help file.
Which reminds me... I need to add to my actionbar
