Since there is no error, and it shows "TestSaveStack" my guess is it IS saving the file correctly, but a folder along the way to where the file is saved is hidden (hence being unsearchable.) If you set the folder to a known location (prior to the save) and then save it, it will probably be right where you expect. Or if you specify a full path, that will probably work too.
Am I the only one who saves the current filename of the stack (assuming it has one) sets the filename, tell it to save itself, and reset the filename back to the original? Actually nevermind, I see Klaus did it both ways.
