Hi,

you can use the parameter "startingDirectory" to set the save directory AND the default file name.

Just set the full path of your file.

Example (in python):

multipleFilters = "Maya Files (*.ma *.mb);;Maya ASCII (*.ma);;Maya Binary (*.mb);;All Files (*.*)"
cmds.fileDialog2(fileFilter=multipleFilters, dialogStyle=2, startingDirectory="e:/toto.ma")

I hope this will help,

Anthony
