Saving Files question

[George_Kardomateas]

I have the following question, which might seem simple. Is it possible (through some Settings) to shield the Source files from being changed once the file is saved with a different name?

For example, if I have in my Source list the file "file1" and, after I do some editing, I save it as "file 2", it changes the "file1" in the Source list as "file2" as well, i.e. I no longer have the "file1" in my Source list. This is inconvenient if I need to bring up the "file1" again for editing of different kind.

Up to now I was using Digital Visual Fortran and this was not a problem, the Source list was shielded. Is is possible to achieve the same with the Intel Fortran through some Settings?

To create a new (edited) file based on an existing file, use the VS menu (File->New->File) to add a new .f90 file, which will show up as "source1.f90" and will be empty and not yet be associated with any project. Content from other files can be pasted into source1, which you can save+rename using "save as".

This seems to be a Visual Studio feature - it annoys me too. I have not located a way to disable it.
