Summary	0000324: Crash on Save on Mac OS if no permissions on target folder
Description	If you try to save on Mac OS X and the current user has insufficient permissions to write to the default folder shown in the file chooser dialog box, FreeCad crashes and you lose all your work. In my installation, when I tried to save, the default save location in the file chooser was the "/Users" directory, which is not normally writable for non-root users. FreeCAD internally fails to write the current document to this folder, and immediately crashes without warning instead of handling this situation gracefully and displaying an error message to the user. Please find below the console output of FreeCAD when that happens: host:MaxOS normaluser$ ./startFreeCAD FreeCAD 0.11, Libs: 0.11R3578 © Juergen Riegel, Werner Mayer 2001-2010 ##### #### ### #### # # # # # # # ## #### #### # # # # # #### # # # # # # # ##### # # # # #### #### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ## ## ## # # #### #### ### # # #### ## ## ## Cannot rename file from '/Users/saaass.fcstd.32a7fc1e-24e0-4ed9-a21f-4f208c4a310b' to '/Users/saaass.fcstd' Abnormal program termination...
