Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-655:
----------------------------------
Interesting use case. Obviously, "c:\" is meaningless on a Mac, but when I
enter a "/" in the "save as" field on OS X, I get a prompt asking me which
folder I want to go to. Never knew that feature existed.
We can't follow this approach exactly since absolute path specifiers are not
cross-platform (nor do I think it is necessarily the best UI), but we could
probably do something to handle it. Maybe we could create a File from the
contents of the text input and:
a) if relative, append to the parent directory
b) if absolute, set the parent directory to the file's parent and the selected
file to the last path component of the file
Thoughts?

> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wtk-terra
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Reporter: A.J.
>
> If you copy/paste or type an absolute path to the save as text input field,
> the result 'selectedFile' is the concatenation of the selected path and the
> path in the text input.
> So you may end up with a File object pointing to something like :
> "C:\toto\D:\myotherdirectory\file" which is obviously incorrect.
> we can (should) check the result from the dialog but handling this case
> should, imho, be done by the FileBrowserSheet component.
> What do you think ?
