Consider Dialog.OpenFile() and Dialog.SaveFile()

Dialog.SaveFile is for writing a file and gives warnings if file exists.
Dialog.OpenFile is for reading/loading a file so does not care that file
exists.

Setting ReadOnly = True makes FileChooser behave as Dialog.OpenFile and
ReadOnly =False like Dialog.SaveFile

Hope that makes sense
