I could imagine another checkbox on the save dialog. Although it's an ugly
solution right now, perhaps we could replace all the additional non-standard
checkboxes with a button "Options" and provide them in an extra dialog. Or use
some expanding parent control.

Tools > Options > Security > Certificate allows to pick a default certificate,
doesn't it?

Yes, and the checkbox would be disabled if no default is defined. But I don't
get "~6 file chooser services".


In the end I wonder if we should change the workflow much. To me the procedure
is some kind of 3rd party tool that modifies the document after processing by
LibreOffice. We just make the access a bit more user friendly. Essentially the
proposal is to move the command from File > Digital Signature into the Save
dialog. Needs to be done for PDF too, of course.
