When the Mu saveSession command is called with asACopy=true, the intent is to write a copy without changing the current session. Two bugs prevented this: 1. RvSession::write() did not forward writeAsCopy as the "saveAs" option to Session::write(). Without it, Session::write() defaults saveAs to false and calls setFileName(), updating the session to point at the copy. 2. RvSession::write() unconditionally called setFileName() after Session::write() returned, so even if saveAs were set correctly the rename would still happen. Fix: pass saveAs=writeAsCopy in the WriteRequest and remove the unconditional setFileName() from RvSession::write(). Signed-off-by: Mark Reid <markreid@netflixanimation.com>

Summarize your change.
Fix
saveSession(asACopy=true)so it writes a copy of the session without changing the current session's filename.Describe the reason for the change.
Two bugs caused
saveSession(asACopy=true)to rename the working session to the copy path. First,RvSession::write()did not forwardwriteAsCopyas thesaveAsoption, soSession::write()defaulted to callingsetFileName(). Second,RvSession::write()unconditionally calledsetFileName()after the write, so even with the correct option the rename would still happen. The fix passessaveAs=writeAsCopyin theWriteRequestand removes the unconditionalsetFileName().Describe what you have tested and on which operating system.
Tested on Rocky Linux 9.
