hello dear pylkko and luna moon
first of all - many many tanks for the reply and the sharing your ideas. I tried to shed a light on all that issues and to get ATOM up and running and working for me.
i have had a closer look at ATOM itself and also at the forums over there.
i found very interesting threads which can be helpful:
they are talking about things like the following:
a. I can’t remember the last time I used the
b. standard File > Save dialog.
one thread is the following:
Display a “Save As” dialog?
https://discuss.atom.io/t/display-a-sav ... alog/30499
idleberg Jun says: a build package of mine, I’m saving the file prior to when the user triggers the build command. I would like to show a “Save As” dialog, when the buffer hasn’t been saved before. The TextEditor class has a saveAs() method, but that requires a path to be passed. The decision where a file gets saved to, should be the user’s decision. So I was wondering what alternative there is? IMHO, the saveAs() method should pop up a dialog, when there’s no path specified./quote]
Default Save Location?

I can’t remember the last time I used the standard File > Save dialog. I just use the advanced-new-file package 625 to name the file when I create it and then just save it.
DamnedScholar says:
When you save a file in a blank Atom window, the directory that file is in is automatically added as a project folder. When you save additional files, Atom will assume that they’re going to the same place. For how Atom thinks about projects, this is very reasonable (and since Atom is Atom, its behavior will differ from Word/Libre/Notepad which don’t have any opinions about projects). To circumvent this, just add a new project folder for each additional place you intend to save files for a given Atom window. Once you have a project folder added for a particular directory, you can simply right-click on anywhere in the tree view and select New File to create a file in that specific folder and not have to deal with the Save As dialog at all.
they talk about a interesting package: This here
advanced-new-file
https://atom.io/packages/advanced-new-file
Updated version of Fancy New File. Create multiple files and directories by typing a relative path.
Advanced New File package Please switch to Advanced Open File Advanced New File is fork of existing package Fancy New File. First of all let me thank rev087 - author of Fancy New File for great work. I forked this folder because old one wasn't maintained for few months and I couldn't contact the author. advanced New File is a package for helping Atom users to create new files and folders more easily. It supports create new files and directory tree by typing a relative path with bash-like autocomplete support.
