Unfortunately the new APIs don't allow customization of the file dialog, so
there would be no options like "Save with password" on the Save dialog.

I did find that the MFC class CFileDialog can run on its own thread and can
cancel a long-running search operation without crashing, and it allows the same
existing customization of the file dialog.  So, I will convert the code to use
MFC, which adds a new dependency to a package that you have to manually install
in Visual Studio 2019.  Please let me know if there would be any concerns with
this approach.
