One way to do this is to make your NSDocument instance the target of the popup button’s action and change an internal ivar inside that action method.
I finally got this all figured out. This is a mess. It's goofy that Apple decided to send the localized type name strings here instead of the actual types supplied, which would be extensions or UTIs. Those would make *so* much more sense.
I ended up overriding writableTypesForSaveOperation. It took me a long time to figure out why it was *always* showing 3 types when I was passing it 2. Then I figured out that those 3 types are in the Info.plist with a NSDocumentClass that's the same as the class that's showing the Save dlog, and a CFBundleTypeRole of Editor. NSDocument is trying to be too smart here and use those types, even though I specifically told the NSSavePanel to setAllowedFileTypes to just my 2 types. Boo to this mess for wasting my time.
