GIMP Version: 2.10.22 Operating System: Windows OS Version: 10 64 bit GIMP Experience: New User List any ERROR messages you received: GIMP Error Saving 'C:\Users\Sallyanne\Desktop\Australian Animals and birds\dingo-4366405_960_720cropped.jpg' failed: Could not open 'C:\Users\Sallyanne\Desktop\Australian Animals and birds\dingo-4366405_960_720cropped.jpg' for writing: Permission denied GIMP Error Saving 'C:\Users\Sallyanne\Desktop\Australian Animals and birds\dingo-4366405_960_720cropped.jpg' failed: Could not open 'C:\Users\Sallyanne\Desktop\Australian Animals and birds\dingo-4366405_960_720cropped.jpg' for writing: Permission denied GIMP Error Saving 'C:\Users\Sallyanne\Pictures\Saved Pictures\public domain\swans.jpg' failed: Could not open 'C:\Users\Sallyanne\Pictures\Saved Pictures\public domain\swans.jpg' for writing: Permission denied Pictures did open but would not export. I couldn't save the changes after. I haven't tried saving as an xcf yet because that won't help me if I want to do pics to upload back to the internet. I have only just upgaded to 2.10.22. Could I have missed something in the preferences that needs doing? Most of my settings are still the same. Of all those pictures I downloaded the first couple from the internet last night but the last one is one I have work on before and exported before successfully. |

I know it could be a stupid comment, but, because many errors have to do with "permission denied", did you check the folders write authorization for your user? |

With the last picture it came from a folder that I have used before and exported back into before. I check the folder and let you know if it has decided to change settings on me.

Wouldn't you know that looks like it may have been it. I have made hundreds of folders on my computer and haven't had this problem before. Will check it if it happens again _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Must have been something to do with a scan I did last night. Compressed a lot of stuff and made all of my picture folders read only |

So, you are OK again now? |

Yes thank you . I didn't think anything would happen to my computer because of the scan because I didn't 'action' anything.

Looks like it is still happening Dinasset. I can't do my Photo restoring like this. After it happened once today i went into the main 'picture' folder and 'checked read only' so it was unchecked but still I cannot export. GIMP Error Saving 'C:\Users\Sallyanne\Pictures\Saved Pictures\Photo editing\Facebook\FDPRR\2021\January\134713393_3649230688500784_9078340580185561383_n.jpg' failed: Could not open 'C:\Users\Sallyanne\Pictures\Saved Pictures\Photo editing\Facebook\FDPRR\2021\January\134713393_3649230688500784_9078340580185561383_n.jpg' for writing: Permission denied By the way, I tried overwrite and making a new file |

Did you check also under "Security" to see whether your user can do any action? |

I wonder if it is anything like this problem - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5028 this about image permissions. and this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... ed-folders |

I have just downloaded the 2.10.22 version. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the gimp because it is only gimp, that is not exporting. I have been able to save a couple of notepads. |

Good to see Rich helping on this problem. He is the best person for this kind of problems. But, IMHO, if the problem is ONLY ON SPECIFIC FOLDERS, the problem is likely in the folder properties. |

Alas, no expert on MS, read recently about access problems, all about ransomeware protection. From that MS document. Controlled folder access requires enabling Microsoft Defender Antivirus real-time protection. If you do not have that enabled then not the problem. Windows system folders are protected by default, along with several other folders: c:\Users\<username>\Documents c:\Users\Public\Documents c:\Users\<username>\Pictures c:\Users\Public\Pictures ...... If that is the problem, then have a search around for 'white-listing' applications (ie. Gimp) |

Unless it was enabled by default I have not done it |

Think I found the problem. Irfanview is saving pictures to their original folders.I think I may have a corrupt Gimp. It's not the Gimp. Can anyone with windows tell me what the problem might be and how to go about fixing it. |

Have found a couple of things through Google. Question was first asked back in March 2018. I still haven't found a fix but am able to edit in gimp, copy visible, paste into Irfanview the save to original folder Finally, it was my anti virus program blocking gimp. I did a system restore last night. Uninstalled Avast and had to install Gimp again and Avast again today. When I just tried to export something from Gimp, Avast just gave a pop-up to say "we have just blocked an app on your computer - do you want to allow it?" I clicked on allow and now it seems to be ok . Has nothing to do with the folders being read only as that seems to be a default on windows computers now - has been for a while
