[Python-apps-team] Bug#919754: mu-editor: Provide 'save as' alternative when opening read-only example?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: mu-editor
Version: 1.0.2+dfsg-1

I experienced a misfeature when using the editor with the
firmware-microbit-micropython package, which include several example
python programs.

I selected 'load', browsed my way to
/usr/share/doc/firmware-microbit-micropython/examples and loaded one of
the python files.  After I modified it, I would get repeated popups
reporting that

  Mu
  Could not save file (disk problem)

  Error saving file to disk.  Please ensure you have permissions to
  write the file and sufficient disk space

  [OK]

It would be very nice in this situation if there was an option to [Save
as] or similar, to be able to write the modified file outside the write
protected examples/ directory.
