Choosing an output file does not work

[girlbossdotcom]

Hi, I'm very unfamiliar with python etc, so I may just be making a stupid mistake. I am using the newest release of pyglossary, running on windows 11. I installed using the wizard.

I am trying to convert a Stardict (.ifo) file to a Kobo Dictfile (.df). I can select the input file and the format of the output file fine, but the output file path location selector does not seem to be working. It will not select a path or folder at all, and instead seemingly wants me to open an existing file? I've tried doing various things like selecting the .ifo as the output location, selecting the .ifo and changing it to .df in the output file box, etc. I simply cannot get it to work. It keeps on spitting out errors like "input and output file are the same" or "PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\Users\[myname]\Desktop\books\dichtml-hi-en\hindi_english_with_pronunciation.dict'" ,<- this one happened when I made a copy of the .ifo file, changed the extension to .df, and then pointed the output file thing towards it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does the window title say "PyGlossary (Tkinter)"?

If you select the .ifo file as the Input File (then Input Format is set automatically), and then select Output Format, then Output File will be set automatically.

And if you want to select Output File first, in the dialog it opens, you don't try to find and click on the non-existing file! You can change the folder optionally, but then type the file name (after File name input) and click Save.
I just tested on Windows and it works.
