Move "Save Incremental" to Below "Save As"

Snipaste_2024-05-16_12-42-10.png Having Save Incremental right next to Save keeps causing me to save new incremental versions of my files accidentally.

If Save As was the second option in the list (as it used to be), you could just escape the Save As modal and carry on working.

However, Save Incremental has no modal. So you end up working in whole new version of the file just because you clicked a few pixels too far down!

Save Incremental should be moved to below Save As or to the bottom of the save section to prevent accidentally creating unwanted incremental versions.

Good point! It has now been addressed: projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/123463

Thanks for the proposal!

Or it could work exactly like "Save As" except the file chooser comes prefilled with the new incremental name
