Save and Save as in menu doesn't work

[ciscoheat]

When loading an example either from the menu or the www button, chances are that I'd like to modify it locally for exploration. But when going to File > Save as... The whole code window clears, and a Pardon. Can't write file. error message displays instead. Same with Save.

It seems like the Open File -> text box has to be filled in for saving to work properly. In that case, Save works in the menu, but not Save as, no new file is created. Also with any save operation from the menu, the file name field should be updated to use the new name, of course.

The WWW button could be a bit misleading since it uses the local file system when it begins with file: anyway. I think the WWW button with its text field could be removed, and Open File -> could be used with either a file name (relative or absolute) or a full URL instead. If a URL is present, the Save as dialog appears when clicking <- Save File, and then the file name changes.

Having the file dialog remember the last used directory would also be very convenient.

After (re)opening trygve with a filename specified in the Open File text box, there seems to be a problem with loading it.

Only as a cache (for the standard examples). If the local copy is not there, it goes to the cloud. There is a HUGE use case space here and there are probably some holes in it. Your use case is to make a local copy of the example, modify it, and save it. I think that to do the right thing begs contextualization with other scenarios,
