Philippe Lhoste:

1) Keep current behaviour, as it is simple and user will know where the
file will be. Thereafter, he can move manually the file in the upper
directory of his choice.

2) Don't create a file but an unsaved buffer, asking where to save it,
ideally defaulting to the path of the current file at time of creation
(I don't know if this is possible or easy!).

  Currently a buffer is created with the path set from the current
file but this buffer is not yet saved. Since it has a path, it won't
ask for a destination when saved although I suppose there could be an
extra flag for asking.

3) If no file is found, just show a Save dialogue pointing to the
current directory (of current buffer). Then the user can just go up in
the dialogue and save before editing.

I know, that's three choices, I added 2) as an afterthought, but I think
I prefer the 3), even if it departs from the current behaviour of other
Option File commands: it even let the user the choice to cancel such
creation, if that wasn't what he wanted to do.

  I'll think about that one. It is a bit of a departure since you are
asking to open a file and SciTE asks where to save it but it may
prevent proliferation of unintended properties files.
