Thanks, Jens.

If we have to do that level of manual work, I think our preferred direction 
will be to go the Xcode-style route, and ask for a save location early. 
However, I’ll ask my colleagues for their opinions.

Anyway, would the best place to implement either of these approaches be in a 
NSDocumentController subclass or in the NSDocument subclass?
