--- Comment #10 from Helge Hafting <helge.hafting at hist.no> ---
I understand that a "file exists" check needs to be done on the new name.

Seeing the file dialog twice, can still be averted by changing the order of
operations. Current order:
1. User does a save(as)
2. Check if document.docx exists, showing a file dialog
3. Nag that ODF is the better format, for good reasons. User accepts
4. Check if document.odf exists, showing another file dialog

Proposed order:
1. User does a save(as)
2. It is a docx file, so suggest the better ODF format. User accepts or rejects
3. Check if document.odf (or document.docx) exists, depending on selected
format. The file dialog is seen only once, for the one format the user went
for. No check or dialog done for the rejected file format.
