Gary,
IMHO, the correct result is the file name. First, Squeak's streams are, how do I put this nicely... Second, there are some plaform dependencies re ownership. Finally, somebody might want to try Nile.
Bill
Exactly! Another use case might be when I just don't want to save a file immediately. So, I agree with Bill, the correct behaviour for the FileDialogWindow is to return the full file name and let its user do what it want. The same for the opening of a file. Maybe even these cases can be merged into the one.

Actually rather more complicated than that... You'll want the full path I expect, also the correct OK button enablement...
Any reason not to have the FileStream?

Not at present. Have a look at FileDialogWindow. Perhaps you could add a couple of methods...
saveSelectedFile "Answer the name of the selected file or new filename or nil if blank."
|d f| d := self selectedFileDirectory ifNil: [^nil]. f := self selectedFileName ifNil: [self fileNameText withBlanksTrimmed]. ^f ifEmpty: [nil].
answerSaveFileName "Set the receiver to answer the selected/entered file name."
self actionSelector: #saveSelectedFileName. self changed: #okEnabled
Then, to open one...
|fd| fd := FileDialogWindow new title: title; answerSaveFileName. ^(modalParentMorph openModal: fd) answer
Choosing an appropriate modal owner. If you want, you could add the convenience methods to TEasilyThemed also...

The base UIManager code has no accessors for file saving, though Polymorph does support such a dialog...
Try
UITheme builder fileSave: "Your dialog title here'
Thanks Gary! But is there a way to force this dialog to return just file name and not to create a file stream?
