I opened Emacs 23.1 in MS Windows to write some Lisp code. When I used C-x
C-f
to create a new file, it brought up the window to pick a directory and
create
the file. However, when I typed in a file name, in this case Pi.lisp, and
clicked ok, a popup appears that says C:\Lisp\Pi.lisp File not found. It
also does this
when I click the "New File" button at the top of the screen.
The ability to create a file without having to leave the editor would be
nice.
Beyond that, great job with the new release. Emacs loads almost
instantaneously
on Windows now.

This was reported by Drew yesterday, with unfortunate timing just after
23.1 was released. The actual bug seems to have been there since April
and should affect all platforms that use file dialogs that enforce the
MUSTMATCH arg.
I suggest that as a workaround you remove the customization you've made
that causes Emacs to use the file dialog even when you use C-x C-f.

The bug was caused by the change that introduced confirmation for
partial completions in the minibuffer - now the MUSTMATCH arg to
read-file-name is not simply nil or non-nil, it can have other special
values too, which mean confirm rather than prevent entry of non-existent
files.
But none of the file dialogs were updated for these special values, so
x-file-dialog is still treating any non-nil value as "require an
existing file". The problem these special values try to prevent does
not really apply to file dialogs, so I have checked in a change that
treats them as nil when calling x-file-dialog.

The bug was caused by the change that introduced confirmation for
partial completions in the minibuffer - now the MUSTMATCH arg to
read-file-name is not simply nil or non-nil, it can have other special
values too, which mean confirm rather than prevent entry of non-existent
files.
But none of the file dialogs were updated for these special values, so
x-file-dialog is still treating any non-nil value as "require an
existing file". The problem these special values try to prevent does
not really apply to file dialogs, so I have checked in a change that
treats them as nil when calling x-file-dialog.
