The filename is "40_gio_file_saving.dpatch".  I attached it to this 
e-mail for easy reference.

I, of course, like this solution the a lot, and it seems like the most 
robust to me, as GIO (as far as I understand) is meant to be GLib's file 
interface.  But I should qualify that I don't actively develop (yet) in 
GTK or C and am not the one that could do the necessary heavy lifting to 
make it happen. So, I am a pretty choosy beggar. =)

If I can be of any help with testing/etc. please let me know, I LOVE 
Geany and would like to make her better with anything that I know how to 
do.  Again, I only have an academic experience with C and none with 
GLib, so I probably would not be a good candidate for development.

That would be really fantastic.

Thanks very much.
