In principle, questions related to the XXE API are *not* answered in this mailing list. However in your case, the answer is simple and short. *You* *cannot* *do* *that* *with* *a* *document* *hook*: the application (that is, XXE) knows and invokes document hooks, but the document hooks have no idea of the ``environment'' invoking them. Therefore document hooks cannot have a side-effect on this environment. Therefore document hooks cannot suggest a save filename in the file chooser dialog box. --> If you use XXE pre-V3, the only solution is to create a special Save command (i.e. a class which extends com.xmlmind.xmledit.gadget.Command) and add it to the menu and/or toolbar which is specific to your configuration. --> If you use XXE V3+ (*strongly* recommended), you can replace the stock File|Save action by a "File|Save As" action of your own (which typically extends the stock "File|Save As" action). In order to do this, please take the time to read: * "XMLmind XML Editor - Customizing the User Interface". See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/gui/index.html * "Extending the GUI of XMLmind XML Editor". See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/gui.html As a teaser, I've attached the code of the stock "File|Save As" action to this email. Suffice to redefine method init(): --- protected boolean init() { OpenedDocument openedDoc = app.getActiveOpenedDocument(); if (openedDoc == null) return false; outURL = ChooseURLSupport.getInstance(app).selectSaveURL( openedDoc.getLocation()); //<-- JUST CHANGE THIS return (outURL != null); } --- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
