The "Save as" dialog allows you to save the active file with a new (or its existing) name. This dialog uses a standard Microsoft Windows explorer window for browsing and accessing the computer hard drives and other volumes, so any file/folder accessible through Windows explorer is accessible through the "Save as" dialog.

Note: Due to the way Windows handles user-based permissions via UAC in relation to mapped network drives, if UltraEdit is running as administrator (or any other user), the drives mapped for the regular user may not be visible/accessible. For more information, see [https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee844140(v=ws.10).aspx this Microsoft article].

'''File name'''<br>
Type the name to save the file with here. You can also click the drop down to see the recently accessed files. You can enter DOS-based filters into this field to filter the current directory in the file list. For example, typing "*.txt" and pressing '''Enter''' would not save the file, but would filter the list to only show files with a .txt extension. You can also enter into this field a full or relative file path and name if you want to save the file somewhere outside the active folder.

'''Save as type'''<br>
This drop down (to the right of the '''File name''' field) includes a list of different file types (extensions) to append to the file name you provide. Selecting an item in this drop down will immediately append the extension(s) to the '''File name''' field. You can modify this list in the [[File types|File types]] area in Settings.

'''ADS Stream'''<br>
Alternate data streams allow files to be associated with more than one data stream. For example, a file named "text.txt" can have an ADS with the name of text.txt:secret.txt (of form filename:ads) that can only be accessed by knowing the ADS name or by specialized directory browsing programs.

Alternate streams are not detectable in the original file's size but are lost when the original file (in the example above, "text.txt") is deleted, or when the file is copied or moved to a partition that doesn't support ADS (e.g. a FAT partition, a floppy disk, or a network share). While ADS is a useful feature, it can also easily eat up hard disk space if forgotten about or not detected.

This feature is only supported if files are on an NTFS drive.

'''Encoding'''<br>
Allows you to manually set an encoding type (ANSI, UTF-8, etc.) for the file you're saving. With this set to "Default," the encoding detected and currently used for the file is used when saving the file as well. Unless you know for sure that you need to change the file's encoding, it's recommended to leave this set to "Default."

'''Save'''<br>
Clicking this button immediately saves the file with the name specified in the '''File name''' field. You can '''optionally''' click the drop down arrow in this button to save the file with a specific type of line terminators:

* '''Save (DOS line ends - CR/LF)'''<br>Saves the active file with DOS line endings (hex 0D 0A). This is the line ending type used in Windows environments.
* '''Save (Unix line ends - LF)'''<br>Saves the active file with DOS line endings (hex 0A). This is the line ending type used in Mac and Linux environments.
* '''Save (Mac legacy line ends - CR)'''<br>Saves the active file with Mac legacy line endings (hex 0D). This line ending type is rarely used by modern computing systems.

If you select one of these options, it will be remembered the next time the "Save as" dialog is invoked, so make sure to double-check this setting so as not to unintentionally save future files with the wrong line ending type.

If none of these options is selected, then UltraEdit will save the file with the line ending type it is already using.
