An even more common flow is: - Initial "Open" -> Open "Open" dialog - Subsequent "Save" -> overwrite previous location - Any "Save As" -> Always opens a Save As dialog However the flow you are describing is quite interesting. It would likely be easier to build UI for. But I think it only solves half of the problem since it doesn't solve the flow I'm describing. ... but solving half of the problem might be better than not solving any of it. / Jonas
