Hello.
I was thinking of things that could be of interest to developers. There is a function that is quite buggy in Illustrator(especially 17.0). Its file saving dialog. Basically, in Illustrator 17.0 PutFileDialog function of user suite is simply not implemented. So I was thinking that implementing file saving functionality(basically, a file save dialog with file format filters etc) would be of great benefit for developers who seek to make their plugins functionaly identical for all versions of Illustrator.

None of our plugins use a file save dialog, so I am not fully familiar with the AIUserSuite:TongueutFileDialog() suite function (and obviously can't comment on workarounds for the problems you're experiencing).

Are you a member of Adobe's prerelease program? You can report and discuss bugs there (including SDK bugs). If not, you should request to become a member. http://prerelease.adobe.com

Some of the plugins we will be working on later in the year will probably utilize a file save dialog, so you might see such features in CORE at that time but I can't be sure.
I just thought I would let you know that 0.5.8 has been released, and it supports file save/open dialogs. When testing across the various versions of Illustrator, I did not run into any problems with Adobe's support for said dialogs (so you might want to give them a try).
