Well, that's the way it was designed, to answer a file stream to which the file contents can be added. Could be extended to support choosing file name (not file) to save to.

I expect your exportWith uses #putForm:onFileNamed: whereas it could use #putForm:onStream: instead.

I will change the interface indeed. Thanks Gary for your answer Cheers, Alexandre

...

Hi!

I would like to use the builder to have a file selection. Here is my code:

-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--= interactiveExportWith: imageWriterClass extension: fileExtension "Ask for a file name and a directory"

| fileStream | fileStream := UITheme builder fileSave: 'Your title here' extensions: #('png') path: nil.

"Very strange that I obtain a stream". fileStream ifNil: [ self inform: 'saving aborded'. ^ self ]. fileStream close. FileDirectory deleteFilePath: fileStream name. self exportWith: imageWriterClass fullname: fileStream name. -=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=

I have no idea why fileSave:extensions:path: return a stream. If I just need a full file name ?
