This message makes sense to me if that file already exists, but I see it
even if the file C:\Users\erimando\Desktop\Untitled.xml doesn’t already
exist. I would expect that clicking the “Yes” button should create and
save the file with the given filename
“C:\Users\erimando\Desktop\Untitled.xml”.

I'm sorry but we don't agree with this. That's why the behavior you expect has not been implemented.




What does this Information dialog box mean?


It means that that a newly created file must be given an actual name. Automatic name "C:\Users\erimando\Desktop\Untitled.xml" is definitely not OK.

For that, clicking "x" and then "Yes" in the first dialog box is not sufficient. You really need to use "File|Save As" in the case of a newly created document.

You seem to be just testing XMLmind XML Editor, but in real use cases, basename "Untitled.xml" is never wanted. Moreover, the suggested save directory "C:\Users\erimando\Desktop" may not be what the user would have chosen.




Note that there is an option which forces the user to specify a save filename just after "File|New" is invoked. With this option, you'll of course get the behavior you expect after clicking clicking "x" and then "Yes".

See option "Immediately save newly created document" (Options|Preferences, New section): http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/newOptions.html
