MAS - Impossible to save ?

Targets macOS
21

New: it seems to be related to the way I save.

The app saves both pictures, with the awful result of being denied, and it also saves a few fonts compressed in a zip. Actually, after offering a save dialog, it simply copies the said zip from the Resources to the target folder.

It copies the file without any fuss to the desktop, to Documents, to wherever I want.

So now I have at least something to explore. If I find no other way, I can simply save the file to AppData, and then use the same kind of dialog to copy to the target.

@Gavin Smith : I appreciate your offer, but since I found at least a hint of what may work, I will first experiment, and report.

OK. The app no longer refuses to save.

  1. I have applied Derk last suggestion
  1. I no longer try to open the containing folder.

Thank you for all suggestions :slight_smile:

Cheers, great we found another weird feature. But it did the trick…:slight_smile:

@Michel Bujardet I wanted to share the code with you for “Revealing” a file in the Finder, using API. I was hoping it might help, but it seems that you’ve gotten it fixed already.

I posted the code to the following page if you’re interested.
