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.

Happy to even make a video showing you the difference, but want to make sure
we start from an understanding that these are not the same as what we talked
about at first and THAT part of the conversation was left hanging (thread
drift happens -- not making any accusation or whatever, but we might want to
finish that focus before changing gears).

I can also zoom with control+scroll wheel... but easier and more control to
do so in post production.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
