When I try to save a certain project, it says:

Save failed:
Is the folder read-only?

That's odd... Sorry; I can't help you here. But maybe... Try re-opening it?  hmm

Oops... I read and wrote that wrong.  yikes

I thought that you mean that it said "Open Failed", and I mean to re-download it. :S

Re: Help! Save failed! :o

That's because the project name contains punctuation marks. Try to avoid them.

This has been reported many times actually.

By the way, I think Scratch should give a less confusing error message!  tongue

At least you get an error message. Some programs won't even give an error message when an invalid character is used in a title. It just refuses to save no matter how many times you click the button.
