I solved this problem shortly after making my original post (isn't that always the way!) - so I logged into the list and deleted the post. But looking at the archives it still seems to be there. The problem turned out to be simply that, as the dialogue first appeared, the selected directory was shown as /home/david As soon as I normalized this to /home/david/ all was well. Of course, once things are up and running properly I'll use a dedicated directory, but as I was only just trying to set things up, and to get Jack, Qtractor, the sound system and my electric piano talking to each other nicely, I wasn't bothered about having a temporary file in my home directory. Thanks again for your help.
