Hi Scott,
That seems like a valid use case that FileBrowserSheet doesn't currently
support. If you are building Pivot from source, can you try applying this patch:

}
}
Then, do this in your app code:
fileBrowserSheet.setSelectedFile(new File(fileBrowserSheet.getRootDirectory(),
"New File"));
Let me know if this works.
