WishList: Save As with media copy

Being able to save a project and copy all the media into a single folder is a *great* tool.
I just want you guys to tweak it a bit :-)
It works great when I want to make a clean copy separated from the bone pile.
However, more usually I have an existing project folder including all the clips and veg file. (Like I would have already done a Save As.) Then I add some new clips to the project from some other folder. I want to do a Save As that copies these new clips into my existing project folder, i.e., just copy the deltas.

If I do a Save As into the *current* project folder, VV3 makes a second copy of all the files that are already in that folder and project. Sorry, but this is dumb behavior. No one would want a second copy in that same folder. We would only want to add the files that were originally outside the folder.

Make sense?

I agree, this has Pi..ed me off as well.
You end up files like very long file names that won't burn to CD without changing the name.

Thank you, SF, for fixing this in the latest version of VV3 (version c).

Rap knuckles SF, for not bringing this to our attention. I found out by accident.
Or did you list it in the release notes and I missed it, in which case I'll rap my own knuckles :-?
