Let’s discuss hypotheticals. Let’s say you’re developing a software application 
that lets you put files together into an archive (be it .zip, .tar.gz, 
whatever). Let’s say that, for your application to work properly, you need to 
have the user select a location for and save the file before they can do 
anything to it. This is similar to how Xcode requires you to enter a name and 
location for a new project before you can build it or really do anything to it.

What would the best practice be for implementing something like this in Cocoa 
in an unobtrusive, Mac-like way? (FYI: the intention of this thread is _not_ to 
debate whether or not something like this _should_ be done). Apple’s default 
NSDocument setup in Cocoa doesn’t really work well for this kind of model out 
of the box.

Anyone have any advice?
