Thank you for your reply. I solved this problem shortly after making
my original post (isn't that always the way!) - so I logged into the
list and deleted the post. But looking at the archives it still seems
to be there.
The problem turned out to be simply that, as the dialogue first
appeared, the selected directory was shown as /home/david
As soon as I normalized this to /home/david/ all was well.
Of course, once things are up and running properly I'll use a dedicated
directory, but as I was only just trying to set things up, and to get
Jack, Qtractor, the sound system and my electric piano talking to each
other nicely, I wasn't bothered about having a temporary file in my
home directory.
Thanks again for your help.

However, on my laptop computer, the
"OK" button remains greyed out
all
the time. This is true whether or not I have made any changes
since
starting the new session. So I can't save any of my
work. Currently,
therefore, Qtractor is effectively unusable on the laptop.
What directory does the dialog default to? Have you tried navigating
to a
different directory to save the file? Perhaps it defaults to a
directory
where you do not have write permission.
