Thanks Murfee for all your help! Added bonus fix from elk, which was happening to me as well.
Thanks to the Affinity Team! Keep up the great work!

HI Murfee,
I tried to reproduce it and of course it worked fine. I do a lot of masking so the next time I notice it I will post back to this forum.

Quick Update: I just updated to 1.7.1 and I can save to my desktop without a permissions prompt. So far so good!

I updated to 1.7 as well, against my better judgement, but I did so because I was running the 1.7 beta for months and had no problems and I liked it much better than 1.6. That being said, I'm getting a weird export bug that I have already reported and the good people at affinity are working on it. I upgraded right in the middle of my production work which was risky but everything is working despite the bugs and I'm happy. I love the new free stock photo tab. Not sure if it was in 1.6, if it was I completely missed it.
Also, 1.7  beta ran slow on my computer which I was worried about, but the official release runs a lot faster.
I also updated my designer. Funny, I have illustrator, just never used it, I hated it actually. Now I use designer every day, can't live without it.

Thank you!
One thing I did is create a new image. Saved to my desktop. Then exported the jpeg to my desktop. I wanted to fix a color issue, so I opened the file back up, fixed, then re-exported over the same file, I get the allow access, then I hit confim, then it says it cannot save the file. Then if I go through the whole export again and try to save that is when I get the frozen save screen
Not sure if any of that helps but I will post just in case.

OMG this upgrade kicks a$$ great work serif/affinity team!!!!! My problem is I have to play with photo and designer to check all new stuff.
Love the stock images. 1.7!  works better than the beta, thank you, thank you!!!!!!! Refine selection is running super fast!

I had to play around with my new update. Refine selection works fast and great!!! The stock photos are great too. Threw this together in 20 minutes or less. Pun intended!
