Description

The default name and messageName parameters on the ofSystemSaveDialog and ofSystemLoadDialog functions are not working, this is a really old bug (look links below). I don't know why is not solved, help please. I'm using Windows 10 and of_v0.10.1.

I found the ofSystemUtils.cpp doesn’t do anything on windows with the strings defaultname and messagename. It is solved.

Is this a bug on the windows side? At least it wasn’t there in OSX, but it is now on windows.

Research direction

Start with ofSystemUtils.cpp, especially the Windows handling for ofSystemSaveDialog and ofSystemLoadDialog and their defaultName and messageName parameters. Reproduce the dialogs on Windows 10 with openFrameworks v0.10.1, then verify that both parameters affect the displayed dialogs as described.
