You could easily include a custom part in the NSSavePanel which
contains a button "Save To URL…" (Save As Remote is a confusing name,
I'd suggest rethinking it). When the user clicks the button, it could
just cause the NSSavePanel to cancel itself, and bring up a normal
dialog in its place.
The new dialog could then have a "Save Locally…" button which brings
the NSSavePanel back.
So it's really the same experience, just the transitions will be a
little less pretty.

Stephane's suggestion seems sound in theory, though I can't say
I'd be comfortable using it in production myself. There is,
however, no reason why you couldn't just recreate the basic
controls of the save panel with IB. If you want to turn off just
the file system browser, just don't include it.
The save dialogue is, by default, 'collapsed', meaning the file
browser portion is invisible anyway. Just don't include that UI (or
the disclosure button to the right of the file name).

Maybe another menu option to "Save As Remote" is the right thing
to do. I'm
sure I'll get some good opinions about it.
Maybe a user will want to initially save it locally to work on and
then
remotely to share it. I don't know. I'm still thinking about how
the concept
should work.
Why use an NSSavePanel at all, then? If all you need is a name,
why not just make a custom panel?

I have an app that works on documents. Now, we have hit upon the
idea that it
would be a really great feature to "Save" or "Save As" these
documents not to
a file system but to a URL or some kind of net service.
I think the user would choose a document type from the popup at the
bottom. If
the user chose to make it a "Remote" document we would only want
the user to
be able to put in a name and make the file system pane disappear or
at least
disable it.
Is there a way to disable views on the NSSavePanel ?
