One of my biggest frustrations with Lion is the disapperance of the Save As command. The whole business of lock and unlock, duplicate, is needlessly confusing, and you often cannot easily figure out where it is putting your document. Is there any way to avoid this, and simply use Save As?
MacPro, iMac, MBPro 2.66 Intel Core i7, MackBook 2 G2, various G5's, Mac OS X (10.6.6), 1 TB Time Capsule (early 2009) & Airport Express
Not in Lion. There's nothing particularly difficult about it.
Until you save a document, it sits in it's untitled state in a temp location. Once you save it, you can pick where you want to save it. I never save anything, anymore, until I need a physical file to send or archive.
Instead of Save As, you duplicate the document, then save it wherever you'd like.
The locking is for keeping a version from being edited. You can adjust the amount of time it waits to lock in the Time Machine prefs.
