Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2000-08-25 16:12:59 UTC 
I think that expansion of ~ is done by shell so you need to use the full path
in this case. Can you please test it?
Comment 2 Martin Schovanek 2000-08-25 17:03:59 UTC 
With full path it's OK. I accept that expand ~ can be problem but why Exception?
Comment 3 Jan Lahoda 2000-09-25 13:25:59 UTC 
I think it should show dialog, that the specified path to file is unknown or
illegal.
'~' is expanded by shell and I think that none or almost none user program
expands it.
Second possibility can be to create file with directories, so you will see
directory '~' in your home directory.
Comment 4 Miloslav Metelka 2000-09-27 15:49:59 UTC 
As the exception is thrown in AWT classes the only thing that we can do is to
catch the exception and display something more reasonable.
 Initially I thought that we could catch FileNotFoundException generally in
PrintAction and display some hint that the user should check the file path but
later I've realized that the PrintCookie.print() doesn't throw IOException so
we would have to manage it in every print cookie that we write e.g. in
CloneableEditorSupport.
Alesi, what do you think about it?
Comment 5 anovak 2000-09-28 09:05:59 UTC 
Fixed in main trunk.
I have inserted a hint into CloneableEditorSupport.
