Engine log filechooser doesn't allow you specify a new file in OS X (Tiger)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open up the DQguru
2. Create a new De-duping Project
3. Go to the Run Match Engine screen
4. Click on the '...' button next to the Log file path field

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

You get a file chooser that only allows you to choose an existing log file.
It doesn't allow you to choose a path and then input a new log file name. I
would expect this file chooser to allow me to specify a new file.

Not sure if this affects other platforms.

Tested this in Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.04 and those respective file choosers 
allow
you to specify a not-yet-existing file for your log.

Issue 3 has been merged into this issue.

It appears the issue is that we're using the 'open' file dialog, which does not 
allow
entering a non-existent file path in OS X (but it is confirmed to be allowed in
Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.04). A solution would be to use the 'save', or a custom 
file
dialog.

Fix committed in r1395 of sqlpower-library (See 
http://code.google.com/p/sqlpower-library/source/detail?
r=1395).

It's worth noting that this also appeared to affect Leopard and Snow Leopard 
too.
