filesystem API - Saving without Save As

[Brian Huffman]

I've been stuck on this awhile and know it is possible, because I've used Chrome Apps that do it. 

When saving a file in my app, I don't want to prompt to save the file every time. Yes, if I have a new file, user should name it and save it. Upon second save, it should just save. 

I have my manifest permissions correct. 

Exact same question here on Stack Overflow with no answer for over two years ...

The answer is on that link.

Once the user has chosen a location you should be able to resave it without prompting. Without seeing code it is hard to know what's going wrong.

The question on stack overflow is different; the poster there wants to be able to choose the location without user involvement.

That is the way I understood API as well. 

I'm able to retainEntries after closing the app, file is reloaded if saved,  without prompt. So, permissioning seems to be good. I guess I'll start over from scratch. An API without a good example becomes a forum, so I guess everyone gets what they want. ;-)
