Bug Description
With the new footprint editor with "Libraries" tree view "Save As" doesn't work as expected. If I modify an existing footprint I expect to be able to save it with a new name and possibly to a new location, just like any other software works. But Save As in File menu saves the old original unmodified footprint. So does "Save a Copy As" in the context menu. So, all modifications seem to be lost if I don't want to replace the old footprint, i.e. use "Save". It's even impossible if I have modified a footprint from write protected location.
BTW, why in the first place there are two different functions, "Save As" and "Save a Copy As", one in the File menu and one in the context menu? I understand the difference between them but they should both be in both menus IMO, or alternatively only "Save As" function.
