apparently it is of type (id)sender. Read below.

It appears instead that the sender is passed: NSPopUpButton, I printed 
out the sender.

I made a hack now to use pos.1 and pos2.. just to test (it is bad of 
course, since the order and generally the filetypes might change). It 
shows the concept can work, I will commit it so you can see it and i can 
test it on gnustep too.

Besides the file-type hack, other two things need a solution:
- on load, I don't know how to "initialize" the values. In my old code, 
I issued a message to simulate a "click" on the popupbutton, which thus 
syncronized all the values. Here I don't have a reference to the 
popupbutton to click! Also I can't assume that the default filetype is 
TIFF or JPEG for example
- the document "remembers" how it was last saved! so once it has a 
filetype, the next time you do saveAs it removes the accessory view!. 
Also TextEdit doesn't behave this way, so I fear it is something I do. 
Perhaps the accessoryView doesn't get regenerated? I don't know, the 
documentation says it gets released, thus I suppose it is logically 
recreated the next time.
