Saving to new location isn't intuitive

[thedangler]

Environment

• Elixir & Erlang/OTP versions (elixir --version): livebook v0.14.5
• Operating system: Windows 11
• How have you started Livebook (mix phx.server, livebook CLI, Docker, etc): Windows install
• Livebook version (use git rev-parse HEAD if running with mix):
• Browsers that reproduce this bug (the more the merrier): FireFox
• Include what is logged in the browser console: no error
• Include what is logged to the server console: no error

Current behavior

Include detailed steps to reproduce error, errors and stacktraces if appropriate.
When trying to save live book save button is grayed out.

Expected behavior

A short description on how you expect the code to behave.
open live book and try to save it in a new location.

I think I figured out the issue. The issue is a UX / UI issue not a bug.

When choosing a new DIR to save I shouldn't have to create a new live book and hit enter then save.
I should be able to save to a new location without having to create a new livebook. When clicking create new livebook you have to hit enter too, there is no button and if you click away it doesn't do anything.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi @thedangler, can you perhaps do a quick video/screen recording showing the behaviour that has been confusing to you? Thank you!

I had the same "issue" now when trying it out as a complete noob, but then I googled and found thedangler's description and it helped me.

One solution could be to add the notebook name in edit box by default.
Perhaps with the ".livemd" suffix in the edit box and remove the "File" field further down?
