Title: Why does the standard bitcoin client not have an "save wallet" button?

As the topic subject suggests: Why does the standard bitcoin-qt client not have an option or a button that lets you export/save your wallet file?

It seems mighty tedious, that you have to go and search for the wallet file and then copy it from some obscure folder...

Thank you! I can't believe it hadn't tried that, I was looking everywhere else :)
