I think save a copy should die, and let export accept any format including inkscape svg.
Noooo. "save a copy" is a common option in a lot of apps. for saving backups without changing file names. I.e. your file might be massive_project.svg, and you can use "save a copy" to save massive_project_a.svg, massive_project_b.svg, massive_project_c.svg etc. while you're working in case something goes wrong or you come to regret a design decision.
Then you use a vcs, don't you (just kidding, but not that much).
So it's not necessarily related to export at all. I'd say leave it in.
Maybe, but even if we leave it in, it might be nice to export a part of the drawing as a svg file (group1.svg). For this, we would need to have all file formats including inkscape svg in the export dialog. Once you've done that, whether you keep or not the now redundant save a copy is a matter of taste. I agree that if save a copy is removed, it should be duly advertised.
