My friend had the same problem. I'll look for the forum post. I have no idea how to fix it. A good way to save it would be to upload it. Then it'll save on the website.

EDIT:
Here it is.

Hi Bluebird,

If the save failed, that means you might be trying to save the project in a folder that does not accept new files. Try using the "Save As" function instead of "save", and see if you can save the project in a different location. If that still fails, try uploading the file to the Scratch website (that way you can download the project later on).

Re: I can't save projects, Please Help!

- Did you save it to a USB? If so, is it still plugged in?
- Is the folder read-only?
- Is the drive you are trying to save to full?
- Are you running two scratch instances of the same project at once?

Else, I have no idea.


Are you doing a collab and need a 24/7 TeamSpeak channel? Contact me... somewhere. =P
