Re: find-file dialog in Carbon Emacs is broken

[Steven Tamm]

I'm glad someone tried it ;-)

The problem is that there isn't a good way to determine if it should be 
an open or a save dialog, and unlike on W32 or X, you need to pick 
"ChooseFile" or "PutFile".  The comment I have in the code is;

        /* MAC_TODO: Find a better way to determine if this is a save
           or load dialog than comparing dir with default_filename */

That's what I'm doing.  I'm checking to see if the directory and the 
default file name are the same, and if it is I put up a save dialog, 
otherwise an open dialog.

Is there a "better semantic" I should be using?
