I agree that logically we 'could' have the "Save" button enabled for a
new empty project. As you say, an empty project can be "saved" by
using "Save As", and that creates a new, named, but otherwise empty
project.

Does it make sense to have the "Save" button enabled on opening a
saved project that has not been changed in any way? In this case,
selecting the (enabled) "Save" command does nothing.
