## Description Adds an explicit **“Save As”** button to the desktop viewer so users can always save a copy of the current PDF to a different location, even if the original file already has a local path. This complements the existing smart **Save/Download** behavior: - The existing download button continues to either save back to the original path (when available) or prompt for a path when needed. - The new **Save As** button always opens a save dialog to choose a location/name for a new copy. ## Changes - **RightRail (viewer controls)** - Added a new **Save As** action icon in the right rail settings section. - The button: - Uses `viewerContext.exportActions.saveAsCopy()` to get the current viewer state as a PDF. - Calls `downloadFile` without a `localPath`, ensuring the desktop app shows a **Save As** dialog. - Picks the first selected file (if any) or the first active file as the source for the filename. - **Desktop / Web behavior** - In the desktop app (Tauri), clicking **Save As**: - Opens a native save dialog so the user can choose a different folder and filename. - Writes a new copy without changing the existing file’s `localFilePath` or dirty state. - In the web app, the button behaves like a standard download of a copy (browser-controlled save dialog / download). ## Motivation - Users often want to apply operations on a PDF while **keeping the original unmodified**. - The existing smart Save behavior chooses between Save and Save As automatically, but there was no way to explicitly request **Save As**. - This change gives desktop users a clear, dedicated **“Save As”** control while preserving the current Save/Download behavior. ## Notes - No backend changes. - No changes to the existing Save / Download button behavior. - The new button uses existing viewer export and download utilities, minimizing new logic. --------- Co-authored-by: James Brunton <james@stirlingpdf.com>
