Hi!

That is because your RawText doesn't contain a path. To save it in another location, the ui->lineEdit->text() shall contain the path of your file. For example: if your lineEdit is /home/yourName/Documents/RawText.txt then it will be saved to /home/yourName/Documents directory, but if the lineEdit is only RawText.txt, the current directory will be used. Try writing a complete path in your lineEdit and see how it works.

I merged several threads into this one, even though the questions are not identical since they all seem to be about the same general problem you are trying to solve.

Please consider to read a book on C++ programming before continuing. That will make your live much easier.
