Are you using save or export. Save won't save anything but XCF files. |

I'm not sure how Gimp files are arranged in Windows since I use Linux. However in Linux I would get the same error. The path in your post contains directories that only the system manager can change. You should have user directories to save things like brushes,scripts etc. as user. Where these are located in Windows I don't know. Sorry to be of little help. Gerard. |

Did you use a portable version AND you installed in "program files" ? If so you should move gimp from there, in any other place ,but not program files If not , load gimp go to Edit/preferences/folder>pattern and there mark the "writable " box for that path You may also control that the patterns folders is NOT in "read only mode" for Windows (or whatever OS you use) This is independent from the setting you chosen in gimp ; if you set the folder as "writable" but for Windows is in read only mode, no new pattern may be added (to control RIGHT click on the pattern folder, chose proprieties ) |

Export to your Gimp user folder, .gimp-2.8\patterns. C:\Documents and Settings\username\.gimp-2.8\patterns The path might be slightly different. If there isn't a patterns folder in .gimp-2.8 folder add one. |

If you installed the official version the path to export is 'C:\Users\Your_name\GIMP 2\patterns You may wish to check that in EDIT/preferences/ folders>patterns the "writeable" box under the C:\Users\Your_name\GIMP 2\patterns is marked OH i almost forgot ... in case you use Win XP or something OLDER,in the path "Users" should be replaced by " Documents and Settings" "Users " is for Vista, 7 and 8 |

Open Windows Defender Security Center. Click on Virus & threat protection. Click the Virus & threat protection settings option. Under "Controlled folder access," click the Allow an app through Controlled folder access link. Click the Add an allowed app button. Add Gimp. |
