Now that this is all resolved, the next question - why default to Desktop instead of Documents? I'd expect Documents, and I hate stuff that clutters up Desktop - one of the first things I do on new installs is change the default location of screen captures to Pictures. ________________________________________
According to the sandboxing docs, I recall that for sandboxing, there are a certain set of locations where you can save files to without requiring user permission. Your ~/Documents folder is one of them. IIRC, all other locations require user confirmation to save the files. Try saving to the docs folder and/or trying writing to the desktop with sandboxing disabled.
