Description Ed Willink CLA 2010-05-24 13:38:18 EDT 
If a text file is to be SavedAs to an alternate format, it would be nice to put up a SaveAs dialog that identified the format, explained it and offered a relevant file extension.

This is not currently possible, since the creation, configuration and opening of the SaveAsDialog is hardwired in AbstractDecoratedTextEditor.performSaveAs.

It is possible to clone performSaveAs, but performSaveAs has non-trivial important functionality so cloning risks hazards in future releases.

Please support customisation, perhaps by an optional ISaveAsDialogFactory argument.

Note that the SaveAsDialog itself is not part of Platform Text and it is not allowed to be extended.
