Lightwave 9.6 "read-only" problems...

[ingo]

I know you said it has to do with permissions ... but I still think it might not.
I have done all that here too, i even used other programs like OnyX to do this, but nothing helped. The only thing helped so far is saving it under a new name and dont forget to add the ending .lwo.

I ran the "repair permissions" on my boot-up drive from the disk utilities application. It still does the same thing.

What is the most annoying with this whole mess is that if I create a brand new object and save it, no problems. But the next time I try to click "save" the error comes up.

Everything works well on the hard drive side, and none of my other programs are having any issues. It just seems like Lightwave has an internal error. The guy from tech support seemed clueless as to the problem, and asked if I was sure I was using 9.6, saying versions before 9.2 could occasionally have a similar problem to this.

Thanks for all the thoughts

It sounds a bit like a content directory problem, exactly where is the file in relation to the currently set content directory? If it's not :
ContentDirectory/Objects/File
then try that.

I have seen this problem over the years, had it myself, and it's still not clear what the fix is. I'd love to get it settled for now and the future!
