I can't seem to save my projects anymore...

Whenever I try to save my projects now, it just says: "Save failed: Is the folder read-only?" No matter how many times I try or where I save, thats what it says. How can I fix it?

Make sure you are an administrator on the computer.

Thanks for trying to help me guys. But still, I can't save my projects. Now the "Save failed" has gone away, but it still won't save my projects!  sad

Does it just do nothing when you click it?

He's tried with many folders already.

Can you check you have enough space on your hard drive?

Actually the thread is not that old. It's quite blunt to jump to such accusation now, isn't it?

@OrcaCat: Maybe a new bug. Do you have a link to the project with the list that caused the error?
