What were you trying to do?
import and subsequently save files
What's wrong:
import: it won't import something unless the file is renamed
blah.tsv (tab seperated value), which is very tedious
if one has many files of the correct format, but
named differently
save: this is the really big problem. It won't save AT ALL unless
the file blah.xs3 is already in existence (say created via
emacs). If the file doesn't exist, it says it does (??) and
asks persmission to overwrite it, if the permission is
granted it just fails. If the file does already exist, it
overwrites it and all is well.
What should have happened:
I don't know, it's the first time I used this program.
Normally, though, it should just accept the filename, and save.
