Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
This is not an IDLE issue, as IDLE merely calls tkinter.filedialog.SaveAS(args).show() and uses the returned path to open and write the file. This is likely not a tkinter issue either, but I will leave it open for now for others to comment. SaveAs subclasses _Dialog, which subclasses tkinter.commondialog.Dialog. For SaveAs .show calls tk_getSaveFile. This "pops up a dialog box for the user to select a file to save" and returns a full path or "". https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/getOpenFile.html makes little promise about the dialog. On Windows, it opens a standard system SaveAs dialog, which allows directory navigation and creation. On macOS it opens a macOS dialog. I don't know about other systems. You might want to ask or python-list or idledev list about the experience of others with newer Python versions. ---------- assignee: terry.reedy -> components: +Tkinter -IDLE nosy: +serhiy.storchaka title: In IDLE, 'File > Save As' seems not to allow creation of a new folder -> tkinter.filedialog.SaveAs: create new folder on Ubuntu? _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46062> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
