Processing: "Save As..." and "Open Recent..." don't work well together

[villares]

Description

I use "Save As..." a lot to try a new idea from a previous sketch, and I often want to open the previous sketch to check out on a previous state of the code.
The "Open Recent" feature ignores a previously open sketch if it was "saved as" something new.

Expected Behavior

I wish the "Open Recent" list kept the name of the recently open sketch, even if it was saved as something else.

Current Behavior

"Open Recent" only lists the name of a recently open sketch if it was not "saved as" with another name. (Note that in case of a "Save As", the sketch was not "renamed", there is still a copy on disk of the previously named sketch).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a sketch named sketch_A, save and close.
2. Crete a sketch named sketch_B, save only (without closing).
3. Save sketch_B as sketch_C.
4. Look at "Open Recent" options. You will see: sketch_A and sketch_C only.

Your Environment

• Processing version: 3.5.3
• Operating System and OS version: Xubuntu 18.0
  (I think it's the same on Mac OS and Windows).

I am new but I am interested in tackling this issue.

It is the same on MacOS. I would also like this feature: it is common for me to Save As, then want to open the previous sketch file so that I can work on the two different versions side-by-side.

Ok, that was just a bad assumption about what the default behavior should be. Changed for the next release after 3.5.3.
