Created attachment 287162 [details] security settings SWT FileDialog on Windows creates a temporary file then deletes it. In the Win32 API this behavior can be turned off by passing OFN_NOTESTFILECREATE, but there is no way to turn it off in FileDialog. Our problem is that some of our application's users configure the file system security so that a file can be created but not deleted. This is important for their audit process. When our application tries to save to such a directory, FileDialog shows the following error “You don’t have permission to modify files in this network location.” A temporary file with 0 bytes is created in the directory and it remains there after the dialog is closed. I'm requesting that FileDialog provides some mechanism to turn off this test-file behavior, allowing users to choose a new file in a directory without delete permission.
