"Store" instead of "Save" when Working with Streams from a C&DS Repository

Currently when a user retrieves an IBM SPSS Modeler Stream from an IBM SPSS C&DS Repository, the default behavior of the user is to save the file on the local disk while working on the file. This is due to default behavior of the Modeler client; the "Save" button on the toolbar will save the file to the local file system and the keyboard shortcut CTRL+S does the same. To store the stream in the repository, the user has to select "File | Store | Store as Stream".
I would like to see the default behavior changed, when working with a stream that was retrieved from a repository. The "Save" button on the on the toolbar should be replaced by a "Store in Repository" button and the keyboard shortcut CTRL+S should store the file to the repository rather than to the local file system.
Alternatively, allow the stream to be saved in a temporary location on the local file system and then have a function that requests the user to store the stream to the repository when closing the stream.
