Trying to Emulate a Save Dialog

[G-Man 0]

I'm trying to emulate a save dialog using the open file dialog.

 

I want the user to be able to choose a path/filename to save to.

 

Once I get this information I would want to save to that file.

 

My problem is that I can't get the open file dialog to let the user select a file that doesn't exist.

 

If the file exists already, I can select it and save to it.

 

But, it seems, that there is no way to actually let the user choose a file.

 

I did get a bot that should let me do this (see attachment) from someone - and I can't remember who - I'm sorry.

 

It's supposed to do what I want but I can't get it to work right...

 

Any ideas/help appreciated.

I tried doing this today as well with no luck, because as you noticed with the "ui open file" box you can't select a directory, you have to select an actual file. I don't see any real way to truly let the user select the save location.
