 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. 
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.

David
