Save as Copy should undirty file (at least as far as next/prev-file is concerned)

[meteorquake]

When you alter an image and click an arrow to move to the next file, it obviously asks you if you want to discard the changes.
It doesn't ask this if you save it first, but it does if you save as copy.
* I think if you've saved the altered file as a copy then invariably you'll not want it to consider it as changed any more in terms of moving to another file, since the alteration will have been done for the purpose of save-as-copy.
It's certainly an annoyance if you are traversing through many files taking crops of them to save to another folder, to be asked such a thing on each next-file move.

no, it should not

no, it's not obvious and could be an accidental click

Settings > File operations > Save changes - Never

OK, so... if there's a difference of views, is it possible to have an option for this?
e.g. "Saving a copy marks image as unchanged"
Since "Save changes to file = Never" isn't going to cover it in my view, because you do want the popup to come up when no save has happened...
Thanks - David
