Can't save editor content [message #732165]

I'm creating an editor using the NonExistingFileEditorInput class as the IEditorInput. When I click the save button for the editor, I expected to get a normal file save dialog, whose directory was set to the path in my plug-in's metadata directory.

Instead I get the Save As dialog that's attached, which has no way of specifying a parent folder, and makes it impossible to save a file.

I've read all the doc I can find, but unfortunately it all shows examples with existing files. If I open my editor with an existing file and do Save or Save As then it all works fine.

Is there something I should be setting to say save the content of new editor instances as a normal text file in the local file system?

Thanks,
Greg.

You need to implement this in your editor by your own.

Actually, I've just resolved this problem by changing my IEditorInput implementation to extend FileStoreEditorInput. Now any save operations treat the editor contents as a text file, and save them to the local file system.
