Saving and Filing Preferences

Question

I want to be able to save in exactly the folder I want my document in. With one step, "save as."
Currently my "save as" feature only allows me to save on the desktop or in "most recent" or "most frequent" folders. It's not giving me the option to access subfolders for saving.
This is creating a workflow problem. I don't want to have to save to my desktop and then have to drag and place my doc in the proper folder. My mac used to automatically allow this and then the default was changed to save everything to iCloud - which I do not appreciate - and have managed to cancel and redirect that default.
It's 3 extra steps to my workflow and I want it back to where I'm saving directly to the proper folder with one action.
I can't figure out how to do this in preferences. I'm using both Pages and Word suites.

Answer 1

Ah, that seems to work if I access the portal via a desktop rather than directly
through a workshop portal.
Thanks

I have been having a problem saving portlet preferences in a processActionof the
portlet class.
When I go to call .store(), I end up with an exception
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can not persist preferences.No backing
store configured or deployed, or this portal does not support customization.To be able to store prefs, the portlet must be invoked via a desktop
and
not via a .portal file. Could you check if this is the case?
Customization seems to be enabled in the web.xml, but I can't figureout how to
configure a backing store for a JSR-168 portlet. For JSP/HTML portlet,I see a
backing file entry in the property editor in workshop. However, whenI pull up
a JSR-168 portlet in workshop, no such backing file property exists.I am already
logged into the portal as a valid user.Backing files are not related to backing store.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I am running the December released 8.1 SP2.
Here is a code snippet in the action method that causes the problem.
Enumeration prefs_enum = prefs.getNames();
String key = "";
String val = "";
boolean saveIt = false;
while (prefs_enum.hasMoreElements()) {
key = (String) prefs_enum.nextElement();
val = request.getParameter(key);
String oldval = prefs.getValue(key,"");
log("Parameter : " + key + " = " + oldval);
if (val != null) {
request.setAttribute("_" + key, oldval); // saveoff value
val = val.replaceAll(" ", ""); // Remove allspaces.
prefs.reset(key); // Remove old value.
prefs.setValue(key, val); // Remove old value.
log("Parameter now : " + key + " = " + val);
saveIt = true;
if (saveIt) { prefs.store(); }
