Well you can't "hack" into the OS-provided Save dialog, so it's either build a
replacement one from scratch, or use a workaround, which is basically:
- Bring up a save dialog
- Check for an extension
- If there isn't one, add one
- If it's incorrect, alert the user
- If you had to add or correct the extension, check for an existing file with
that name
- If there is one, display a dialog asking if they want to replace
(hopefully mimicking the host OS as best as you can)
- Save or Cancel (based on user choice).
