This is going to be very confusing to the user, if we actually show the .html
extension. I suggest we go to standard GUI program behavior. I think we need
"Save" and Save As..." options just as in most standard GUI programs. If no
directory of the chosen name exists then one is created and filled (ie Save
As...). If the directory already exists then its contents should be updated.
In our case I think a single "Save" button still works. We just need more
standard behavior. The only other interface question is if we want to be
careful and ask the user if they really want to update the contents of an
existing directory.
