So this is a problem that's not really a problem yet it is. I think it's best explained with an example:
A user wants to save a file so we open the save dialog box via File.browseForSave(). User then selects a folder "my folder" and types in a name like "my/file/with/slashes.txt" and hits the save button. What happens is AIR interprets this as save a file "slashes.txt" in the folder "my folder/my/file/with". To me this seems perfectly reasonable and correct. In fact, I would say this IS the correct behavior. However my users feel that what should happen is that a file with the name "my/file/with/slashes.txt" should be saved out in "my folder". I haven't tested on Windows but on Mac OS using Safari and Chrome the user's expected behavior is what happens. In Firefox the slashes are converted to underscores. This leads me to believe that these browsers are all getting the name back and escaping the slashes. In AIR I'm not seeing anyway to get the filename and escape it as the select that is fired when the user clicks "save" returns a File object with a name property set to "slashes.txt" -- that is, whatever is after the last slash. Does anyone know how to capture the filename and escape slashes or is that just not going to happen?
