Document Based App - open

I've got a document based app that has a document type that it supports, and one that it can use as the basis for a new document. I originally had different menu commands for each one, but found that my testers were confused - they tried to just open both kinds of documents.

So, thought it seems a little odd, now you can use Open for either (and it seems to be more intuitive). If you open a native document, it just opens it. If you select the other filetype, it creates a new document based on information take from the "opened" file. I change the document type and the filename of the new document, but NSDocument still thinks it's an existing file, the "Save..." menu option is still highlighted. Is there a way to tell a document that it should behave as if it's a newly created document, or do I need to manually gray out the "Save..." option in this situation?
