There is a new dialog box that pops up in OS X Lion when attempting to save a file in TextEdit, denying permission to save. is this a bug or an issue because of the new, automatic versioned-saving feature in OS X Lion?

tell application "Finder" to set basePathToNotesFile to basePathToContainer & "Notes.txt"
tell application "TextEdit"
with timeout of 10000 seconds
save the front document in basePathToNotesFile
end timeout
with timeout of 10000 seconds
activate
end timeout

G'day

For a start, TextEdit no longer allied files to be save under the .txt name extension.

You'll need to use something like this in the GUI
