Bug Description

I wanted to save the same scan in png and pdf but the save button kept insensitive after the first save even after rotating a page hoping to trigger an unsaved status.

version: 3.24.0

actually this is possible to save again using the "save as" in the application menu.

so it would be more of a feature request than a bug, but could we have a "save as" button next to "save"?
The minimal interface is nice but I was scanning three photos at a time with a flatbed, and couldn't save each picture separately. Never thought of looking into the application menu and ended up downloading xsane and cropping with gimp.

Thinking about it now, even better than a "save as" button would be to simply have a dialogue with the usual "This file already exists, wadya wanna do? replace/new/cancel" when pressing save a second time.
