One thing to be aware of with this approach is that it won’t work if your
app is sandboxed (apps distributed through the Mac App Store are
sandboxed). When sandboxed you can only write to a file path that the user
explicitly specifies. You will get an error if you try to change the path
that the user specified in the save as dialog.
