Description Bill Brown CLA 2003-09-19 15:57:03 EDT 
Eclipse cannot save a Microsoft Visio file when opened within the eclipse IDE. 
Steps to reproduce.
1) import a microsoft visio document to a project
2) verify that the properties of the file are not read only. 
3) double click on the file to open it as a "plug-in" within the Eclipse IDE. 
4) make a change to the file and attempt to save it. 
5) The error message is "Cannot save the file".  
6) the error is also not recorded in the log file.

William, is it opening a Visio ActiveX component within an Eclipse editor area,
or is it launching an external program?  Please also include the Eclipse build
number in your bug report (found under Help>About).

Moving to UI for further investigation
Comment 2 Bill Brown CLA 2003-09-19 18:01:42 EDT 
The build version of eclipse is: Build id: 200306271545

Double clicking on the file opens an ActiveX component that actually opens the
document within the eclipse IDE.

Moving to SWT for investigation

Your bug has been moved to triage, visit http://www.eclipse.org/swt/triage.php for more info.

Note: please re-test, we have changed saveToStorage() implementation. It is possible this bug is fixed.

This problem is seen with Microsoft Word(*.docx) as well where the Save button is disabled and Ctrl+S doesn't work.

In case of Microsoft Excel(*.xlsx) the Save button is enabled but doesn't work.
