Issue description
Hello I'm working in Windows 7, in a Laptop with AMD Phenom P920 Quad-Core. I'm using synfig 0.64.1, but the problem also apears in recent Synfig versions (0.65). I have problems when I try to save a drawing in Synfig. It says that it's unable to do it. When I change the name of the file, then I can save it.

Something I noted is that, when I open a synfig file from the explorer of windows, the problem doesn't show. I can save the file, wtihout to rename it.

  • A message box apears: Save- error: "Unable to save to: xxx"
  • In the terminal windows that appears when synfig runs the mesage says: synfig(6472) PM error: synfig::save_canvas(): Unable to rename file to correct filename, errno=2
  • I save the file with different name. The file save, but when do anothe change in the drawing and save again, the same probem re - appears
Steps to reproduce this issue
  • I run Synfig from the Windows Menu
  • I begin to draw something in the deafult open file:"Synfig Animation !
  • I save the file with other name in a personal carpet
  • I make some changes to the drawing, just moving some points
  • I do a click in the save button of the tools panel
  • A message box apears: Save- error: "Unable to save to: xxx"

Same problem here. I reinstalled still the same problem. I am using the 64-bit version (0.64.1). I also get multiple error messages when working, see attached picture.

While trying to fix the problem, I have found one workaround - if you run Synfig Studio with Administrator privileges, then the problem doesn't happen.

Looks like I've found where the problem comes from. For now you can try the following workaround: edit the Synfig Studio shortcut and change its working directory to "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" (without quotes). Then you can run Synfig Studio (and save files) using this shortcut without admin privileges.

u may be having trouble saving your project because the file name has too many characters. To fix this problem, right-click on the folder that contains the document and [https://uk.bestessays.com/personal_statement_service.html https://uk.bestessays.com/personal_statement_service.html]. Then enter a new name for your project with fewer than 30 letters or numbers. You can also try using an underscore to separate words in the filename if you are still running into problems.

There are numerous advantages to changing your name. If you have one that you find humiliating or that attracts the wrong type of attention, altering it could save you a lot of time and effort. The fact that the sky is the limit is one of the most appealing aspects. You can choose any name you like, as long as it's not obscene or violates trademark laws. If you want to stand out in a crowd, switching from a common to a unique look could be a good idea. If you'd like not have the same one as everyone else, you can switch to something that better suits you. You can get play together game pc here.

In fact, economics is a very complex robot. The owners will understand me. So many different factors come together, and sometimes it's hard to deal with some of them. I have a habit of going to companies that can help me, the last time I applied for a trademark registration in eu. The company was able to do it very quickly and professionally. I can confidently recommend them. I recommend the same approach for applications because it saves time and money.

The key to finding the perfect mattress for your weight is to try out different mattresses in a store before you buy. Take the time to lie down on different models to see which one feels the most comfortable and supportive. Don’t be afraid to ask the salesperson what their opinion is. They should be able to provide you with helpful advice. https://allaboutheavyperson.com/top-platform-bed-for-heavy-person/
