Cannot save on mac

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a pynguin project
2. Click "Save as"
3. The window will appear for about 0.2 seconds, and then disappear

I'm using pynguin 0.7 with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leapord on a 2007 MacBook

Thanks for the report. Sorry to hear you cannot save your projects. That must be
frustrating!

Do you know which version of PyQt you have installed?
Do you run pynguin from the command line?
When run from the command line, is there any output when you click the save 
button?

I will attach a short program that will test just the file dialog. Give that 
one a
try and see what happens. If it crashes, try uncommenting line 8 (set 
self.fdir='')
and see if it still crashes.

Yep, with "python main.py"

Don't know yet; will check (this is a bug on another person's computer).

Still no luck saving on Mac.  Running 10.6.2, Intel Mac OS X, Macbook2,1, Intel 
Core 2 Duo.  No messages (even running -D) about the problem.  The Save dialog 
pops up and disappears.

Any thoughts?

Did you try the test program listed in comment 2? (fdlg.py)

You could try adding some logging around the save function.

I am going to add autosave which should help, but we should get this working 
properly.

Auto save is working now. Set backupfolder in conf.py to specify the location.

At least this should keep you from losing your work until we can figure out 
what is wrong with the save dialog on your Mac.

Yep, autosave is working, but the window still just pops up and disappears for 
all dialogs (export image, open, save, etc.)

Have you tried the test program from comment 2 yet?

I have no access to a Mac, so if this is still a problem let me know.

Hopefully this was a PyQt bug that has been resolved since the report.

If you still have the problem, please try running the test program
mentioned in comment 2 and reopen the issue.
