exporting for macs

I needed a sprite for another game and tried to export it on my mac, but it won't work. The message says "could not write file: export failed". This never happened on my windows computer. Can someone tell me what the problem could be?

Re: exporting for macs

I would try again. Seems like something happened during the transferring of files from one platform to the other. You can also try ZIP'ing before transferring as a way to prevent file format changes.

It may be that you tried to write to a folder that was write-protected.  Try putting the file on your desktop or in Pictures, which should allow writing.
