Description Petr Dvorak 2008-03-11 10:39:18 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803110005)
Java: 1.5.0_13; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_13-119
System: Mac OS X version 10.5.2 running on i386; MacCentralEurope; cs_CZ (nb)

I would not think about this either, as I am used to the dialogs for Windows, but there is a funny problem on MacOS.

Go to File > Print to HTML. A dialog appears. There is also a button "Browse..." - click it. Now, go to some path and... ooops... there is a problem - you 
cannot leave the dialog with "OK result" until you choose an EXISTING file. You cannot specify a new filename manually, so you cannot use the dialog to 
specify a new file destination. Your only option is to either overwrite some file, or click Cancel...

Possible fix: I would use SaveFileDialog instead of OpenFileDialog.

This problem do not arise under Ubuntu or Windows as there is a field for typing filename...
