New project cannot be saved (on Mac)

Hello,

after (re-)installing AppStudio new projects cannot be saved… (on Mac)

File, New Project, choose folder for project file:

The “Save” button is deactivated…?!

Even with full disk access fpr AppStudio it does not work…

What can I do?

Anyone else having similar issues?

THANK YOU!

Best wishes,

Olaf

New folders can bei created - but still saving is not possible… :frowning:

Write permission is the obvious issue.

Can you look at the log in the About screen? Any messages?

No errors or so and nothing related to saving problems…

No clues in the log.

What’s the path you are trying to save? The image above does not show the full path.

Tried several local folders:

Downloads
Documents

Created new folders in Downloads, but also here saving does not work.

It does work in the predefined folder (Users/User) - but in no other folder… :frowning:

Workaround:

Create a new project in the predefined folder with predefined name:

Save the project with the desired name in the desired folder.

Not nice - but works and is “ok” for me…

It looks like a permissions problem on your Mac - we have lots of Mac users (I’m on one right now) with no other reports of this.

ok - thank you very much, George!

Even with Full Disk Access for the AppStudio app it does not work.

If I find a solution I will post it here.

So long I will use the “workaround”.

Best,

Olaf

One other thought: are you running any kind of anti virus/firewall/security utility?

…just the Mac firewall.

I can choose folders and save files from AppStudio - it just does not work when creating a new project and trying to change its name or folder. Them the “Save” button is disabled.

So I do not think it’s a permission or security problem.

But no prob - I will use the workaround…

George - thank you!!!
