Build A Text Editor Part 3 - Save Files - Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #106

In this video we'll build out the Save function in our text editor with Tkinter and Python.

In the last video we looked at "Save-As" and in this video we want to build out "Save". The difference between the two is subtle. With Save, we assume that there's already an open file, that already has a filename...we just want to save it. With Save-As, there isn't yet a filename so we need to create one.

But that means we need to build out a mechanism to keep track of our opened file's name! We'll do that in this video.

I am not good at English but I can understand what he teaches. It is magic. John Elder is a magician. He is the best teacher I have ever seen. Thank you, Sir

I was about to give up, then I found your series. Now i'm coding nonstop, thank you!!

[SammarpanDasguptaOfficial]

I totally impressed by your quality am going to complete this series the meantime of learning that, I made over 5 projects in python tkinter....and that happens only for are really a genius....thanks for guiding you from India.

[yaman]

these videos are EPIC keep it up man i love all of this

[praveenm]

I dont have teacher to learn python. You are my teacher😊😊😊

[rodrigorosario]

Hey man you forgot the global variable in save as def ... if you save as and then try to save again the thing goes to save as again. Very nice videos simple and straight to the point

[pythoncoder]

I like your content it's great. Keep it up

[matthewneal]

Hey just something that you missed is that you also need to update your global text is save as otherwise save will keep trying to save as if you make a new document.

Hey man, thank you for this video! But you made a mistake I think. If you press the button "save as" you can choose where you want to save it and it works! But if you change the text after you cant press on save. Because if you press on save then the save as windows pops up again. Do you know how to solve it? :)

[NotBeHaris]

i not watch the complete. I only listen "Hi John Elder is here." But i know this video is also amazing like other videos.

In this video,
you merely show how to open/read/edit and then save pure text file.
Please kindly give another video to teach and guide me
how to save a file whose content has both Text and Image/Object content.

Hope to see that. Thanks a lot.

when we load the project file, entered the text and save the file, very first time, it is not saving. only it is saving if we did new file.
i thing need to add this line

global open_status_name
open_status_name=False
root.title('New File - Textpad!')

def new_file():
my_text.delete(1.0, END)

#Put status update or popup code
showinfo("File Saved", "Your file was saved to a directory!!")

How to save the image with text inside the text box when we do save as file

[ExecuteStyxzy]

I am running into a problem. When making the save function and then running it when i press save it gives me an error. It says 'text_file = open(open_status_name, 'w')
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not TextIOWrapper'. Does anyone have a solution to this. I have been looking everywhere for about 30 mins now

[yeoucheoub]

I can SAVE the file for the first time, but more than once. second time it uses the save_as

[_BayuSurbakti]

We can continue the previous text if just save it will comeback to save as file
