File save plugins, preferred vs required image types

I am taking a stab at my first contribution in the form of an improvement to an existing file saving plugin. I have discovered how the plugin specifies which types of images it can handle (INDEXED*, GRAY*) but I have a small problem. Currently a dialog appears to asks if the image should be converted to indexed or greyscale, but if I add RGB* as an accepted type than that dialog goes away. I want some sort of prompt to still appear asking the user if they want to index the image. Is there any sort of image type 'preference' that would not have the force of a requirement but would still produce that dialog?
