Perhaps you aren't looking hard enough. The check is in the input widget in 1.4.x. The first time you input an invalid file name you'll get a dialog popping up to tell you so, but thereafter it won't. Instead, the input widget's label should go red and the dialog OK,Apply buttons will be disabled. Angus
