Thanks. But, there is still a change to the old behaviour, I am quite
sure. Or, if not, I propose the following change.

The user should be prompted for "<directory>/<filename>", not just
"<directory/". The reason is, that this way a user can easily change the
filename, if needed, not only the directory name.

I get quite often revised versions of documents under the same filename,
for instance, or documents with the same filename from different users
(minutes.doc, index.html, screen.png, calendar.ics, ...), which I would
like to change easily (and after mm-file-name-rewrite-functions has been
applied). What do you think?

Best, Adrian.
