Thanks. I'm happy to have other people tackling areas of this project. > First, I thought I had found something when I found the function > gtk_file_chooser_set_local_only, but the wretched dialog insists on > trying to display the directory of the entered URI when one clicks > Save. Naturally, such a directory does not exist. Entering > gda://AnActualConection results in an error. I found that function too and thought it would fix things, but it didn't. I didn't see an error. What I saw was that the returned file looked like /path.../gda%3A%2F%2FAnActualConection. I have some code which looks for "%3A%2F%2F" and then searches around for the URI that was entered. This works, but now means I need to add the sync function to the backend to blow away the current contents of the database and save the new contents. I should have this ready to commit in a few days. This will at least allow saving to a GDA database.
