[FoRK] Should Exist: Save Box Rules

[Jeff Bone]

Okay, so there's this one operation I find myself regularly doing  
over and over again on my Mac that has me thinking...  this shit  
should be automatable.  Basically, here's the scenario:  I frequently  
save some web page (usually documentation for some tool) as a PDF  
locally.  Mac OS X uses the title of the web page as the default name  
of the file --- for example, I just saved a page called "fish user  
documentation".  Problem is, I spend enough time in the shell on Mac  
OS that I don't WANT file names with embedded spaces.  The  
transformation that I *UNIFORMLY* apply in all such situations is  
simple:  I simply eliminate the spaces, and capitalize the first  
letter of each word;  e.g. the file above becomes  
FishUserDocumenation.  (Actually FishUserDocumentation.pdf...)

It sure would be nice if such transformations were "advisable" in the  
emacs sense rather than statically baked into the implementation of  
the Save dialogue box (or whatever the NS* widget is...)

Similarly, rules for dynamically automatically picking the default  
save folder based on context would be nice...
