Description

I'm logging this bug so it doesn't get forgotten.

Trunk: r5773

When you click Save As, the Name: Text entry allows you to type in a name. When you type in a full path, eg /tmp/newfile.txt Padre saves as the new name, but in the same location that the original file was opened from.

This isn't expected behaviour.

I would expect that a path would allow you to save as to that path.

Checked this in gedit and this is the behaviour.

I haven't found where in Padre this is mananged.

This is a fairly straightforward fix.

Using the ->GetPath? method of the FileDialog?, it returns the full path of the file name that you type in.

I'm taking this one as I just committed the change, but left all the ugly comments in the code, if this doesn't cause any problems in a few days, I'll clean up the code and close this ticket.

OK this works fine on windows too.. Noticed that the save as icon isn't in the toolbar, might have to add it...

I'll clean up the code and add in the icon for the toolbar and close this one off.
