Overview

The File Save Dialog Widget provides a general method to save files

Usage Cases

• Commonly used in Native Stylus-Based applications.

Appearance & Interaction

(TBD)

We should shoot for the following features:

• Search
• File Save

On Tap

• (application defined)

Constraints

(TBD)

Architectural Details

• This dialog needs to remember it's previous folder path. When opening, it should return to the last folder location.

Implementation Recommendations

• As much as possible, saving files explicitly should be avoided.
  • Any information should be autosaved within 30 seconds or so, whenever possible.
  • This avoids data loss, on battery failure, application crash, or damage to the device making operating it impossible (cracked touchscreen).

Cross-Widget Interactions

(TBD)
