Why do I get error code .. "can't save file. check file permissions".

[Chef LeeZ]

Is there no end to the GWD program problems? 

Now I can't save a file except into the file from which the page was opened. I get error code  Can't save file .. check file permissions. Where are these permissions?

We have a page template in its new version folder. We open the template and edit it but can only save the changes if saved to the folder from which the template came from. What's up with that?

I suppose I can move the new file after saving it but why should I have to go through the extra steps.

Hi Chef LeeZ,

Sorry about the problem.

GWD supports two scenarios at this point.

1) Save as into the same folder that the original file exists. Only the HTML is duplicated.

2) Save as into a folder outside of the original folder and the associated files to the HTML are also copied to the new location.

One of the problems with the previous version of GWD was if you Save as to outside of the original folder, it didn't copy the associated files with the HTML, then the duplicated HTML became useless. We fixed the problem with the implementation of 2) above, however it created a conflict issue when try to save as inside an existing GWD folder. (Shows error).

Although, it shouldn't be "permission" error, we changed the message to more concrete one: "Save as" failed because {folder} contains files that conflict with files in this HTML document".

So I'd like to find out how to get the error message and the steps of your workflow.

- HTML A in folder A as a template.

- Open A.

- You can Save A as B in folder A.

- You tried to Save A as B in folder B but folder B has GWD files?

Anyways, we think we made a small improvement but obviously it is not enough.

We are aware GWD lacks proper project workflow support and we'll improve those in future releases.

Thanks,

Open an HTML5 (file A) from a sub folder inside a parent folder ... attempt to save as (file B) to the parent folder outside the sub folder. 

The work around is to save as in the sub folder and then move the file to the parent file. but thats extra steps. 

I can see your point if the file being saved requires being published to create a folder of associated images and such but is not applicable if all the images and such are linked to an online source as is my scenario..

Thank you for your explanation. 

I should have mentioned about the GWD support files those are in the folder with the main HTML, there are several js/css files within the folder, e.g. gwdpage_min.js, gwddoubleclick_min.js etc. We have separated those custom elements bits from the main HTML to make those features more modular, controllable and keep HTML simpler. 

And by saving as the HTML to outside of the parent folder, those support files are also copied with the HTML. 

However if you move the HTML file manually, those support files are missing. Then if you open the file and try to "Save as" to an empty folder the "permission" error message is displayed. 

The message is wrong, but those GWD files should be recovered when a HTML file opens and we filed a bug for that.

Thanks again for your many feedbacks and for your patience.
