Saving a file

Post by hotcore »

For opening a local file there is OpenFileRequester.

Is there something similar for saving a file??

By just trying I found an answer to several questions:

1. when using CreateFile a SaveFileRequester pops up automagically;
would be nice to put that in de docs

2. when the file being created already exists, a dialog pops up wheter
we like to overwrite it;
would be nice to put that in de docs as well!

I learned that this dialog is shown by the browser. So, the file is effectively not written in the normal OS way, but is downloaded by the browser, which is logical considering the way SpiderBasic works.

Again, it would be very nice if such things were documented together with CreateFile!
