Description
Every time when I use the embedded web app to edit images and click Save button the app it saves them as <filename>_edited.jpg, which is not convenient, as I am looking for the changes in the file I have changed.
I suggest changing the behaviour of how the edited images are saved:
- When clicking
Savebutton the existing image file is overwritten - Add a new button
Save as a new filewhich will prompt the new name for the edited file.

Research direction
Start by locating the embedded web app's Save action and the code that currently appends _edited to image filenames. Trace how edited images are written and how the save controls are rendered; done means Save overwrites the existing image and a separate Save as a new file action prompts for a filename.
