Is not working with OXT Lite 1.10 on MacOS 12 right now.

I wonder what the reason for that was . . . as just now . . . this worked:

Just seen this post, depends on where your defaultfolder is set to point to.
If I don't specify a full path in my export (on the left) it fails. If I specify a full file path, then it exports no problem.

I did NOT specify a folder with my Sheriff of Nottingham, and the image ended up inside the Mac App folder as I expected it to; but Asterix and Obelix vanished (maybe Obelix was too fat to get in there . . .).

Haha, perhaps. Middle-age spread. It would be worth trying a:

Code: Select all

put the defaultfolder

after OXT starts up, or when you can't export an image - just to see what it's set to.
If it's set to a non-writable location, it'll fail.

That makes no sense as I have had the OXT Lite IDE open continuously between those 2 attempts.

Okay, but anything can modify the defaultfolder. For example, if you opened the dictionary stack, it might have set the defaultfolder to the location of it's text files to get a file list. That's non writable, so that might cause it to fail. There's also other bits of the IDE that constantly modify the defaultfolder - revIDELibrary, the behavior scripts, all it would take is one of those not to set the defaultfolder back to whatever it was.

This is why I either always set the defaultfolder to specialfolderpath("Desktop") or give the full file path. Up to you, but worth a try if it happens again.

You have got to love things when computers show signs of sentience and thinking for themselves.
