)save wont work, but saving via file menu does?

Post by tclviii-dyalog »

after checking that )si had no suspended functions(which shouldn't matter anyway), tried to save a new version of the workspace ... couldn't save

)wsid
C:\Users\tonyuser\Desktop\crroptions2.dws saved Fri Aug 19 12:57:42 2022
)save crroptions4
Can't save - file could not be created.

but i could save the new ws version if i went through menu system and choose /file/saveas

was C:\Users\tonyuser\Desktop\crroptions2.dws
C:\Users\tonyuser\Desktop\crroptions4.dws saved Fri Aug 19 12:58:29 2022
)wsid

Hi Tony,

Please check your current directory as it is probably one you cannot save in.

You can do that with the ]cd user command by typing ]cd without any arguments.

This FAQ entry gives some suggestions about how to set the current directory:
