Appstudio won't run/save but tries to save under new name

1

Appstudio is doing this intermittently to me and my students using it. I am on a Mac Pro running Sonoma 14.

I was in the middle of working with a project on Appstudio for about an hour - suddenly I try to run my project, this screen comes up. If I close the popup, and try to run it again, same thing. Try to save or file Save As - same window pops up. Created a new folder and tried typed a new name in the popup - it saves it fine but then when I try to run again, the popup comes up again. I have restarted appstudio and rebooted mac - same issue.

This happens with other projects too.

Thoughts?

In Preferences, in the Deploy tab, do you Save on deploy? enabled?

Yes, Save on Deploy is checked.

That’s why it’s trying to save the project when you run it.

Are you able to save the project normally? (i.e, on the File menu?)

No, File > Save or File > Save As did not stop this behavior.
I unchecked the Save on Deploy in the Preferences and haven’t had a lock-up since. Thanks!
