Open the exist file, update the file buffer and Click Ctrl+S, it's OK. But for the new file buffer, it does not work.

I deleted the folder ~/AppData/Local/Zed, and re-open Zed. When saving a new file buffer, a Save As explorer window is opened, but both Zed and the explorer window are hung.

After starting Zed, open Zed.log and find that there are errors:

2024-09-12T10:58:04.0049802+08:00 [ERROR] Error { kind: Generic("Input watch path is neither a file nor a directory."), paths: [] }

I built Zed on main branch 25b6e43b0f8faf3b24b4ab4ee02456d3933539ce, the trouble still exists. But, after applying the patch #17708 , it is solved. @dovakin0007

If opening chinese input method, such as pinyin or wubi, both Zed and the explorer dialog window will hang. It may be another issue.

hi, no any progress ??

[SomeoneToIgnore]

Whom are you referring to, given that Zed team does not support Windows officially?

[xgfone]

On Windows, Zed cannot save the new file buffer as a new file. However, PR #17708 maybe fix it. May the PR be merged to the main branch?

[xgfone]

Because Zed team does not support Windows officially, I build the main branch everyday as the nightly version to try the new features.
