Re: Dealing with the standard save dialog from applications?
Strange, I can't seem to get this to work here at all. Here is what I just did: 1. In a mail message I pressed Command+shift+s to open the save as dialog. This brought up a standard dialog. 2. Pressed shift+command+h which gave me my home directory. 3. Navigated to the file list and interacted with the list. 4. Arrowed down to the documents directory. 5. turned off quicknav and then tried pressing the right arrow key to expand the folder. Nothing happened. I pressed the enter key and the folder opened. I then navigated to the save button and pressed it. The dialog stayed on the screen. This is the strangest thing.

Re: Dealing with the standard save dialog from applications?
Hello Doug, The problem you're having is because you are not in Column view. Just press Cmd-3 while in the dialogue box and all will be well.

Re: Dealing with the standard save dialog from applications?
Hi Anne, Thanks for that tip! I've been trying for the past week to figure out why this dialog was not working as expected for me. cmd-3 fixed it.

Dealing with the standard save dialog from applications?
Hello People: Just a quick question about working with the save dialog presented by applications. I have the disclosure box checked. I use the side bar to select what device or place I want to save the file. I then use the file list to narrow it down and select a directory where I want the file to be saved. The problem is when I find the directory using the VoiceOver cursor I can't seem to open the directory in the file list that I want to use to save the file in. How does one go about doing this?
