In this video we’ll build out the Save function in our text editor with Tkinter and Python.

In the last video we looked at “Save-As” and in this video we want to build out “Save”. The difference between the two is subtle. With Save, we assume that there’s already an open file, that already has a filename…we just want to save it. With Save-As, there isn’t yet a filename so we need to create one.

But that means we need to build out a mechanism to keep track of our opened file’s name! We’ll do that in this video.
