Mac new OS Catalina and not able to save on a harddrive anymore.

[Nanne van Vondelen]

After updating my mac to Catalina my three programs od Affinity give the same error if I want to save my file on a USB Hard drive.

Failed to save document:/volumes/Porsche2/test/Untiteld.afpub

Save failed. Access was denied.

[ACCESS]

Do you wish to save the document to a new file?

I have all the permissions opend and gave all read and write rights to all.

 

I still have the same problem. Who can HELP me

Hi Nanne Van Vondelen,

Welcome to the forums

Does this happen to all files or is it just one? if its just the one please could you try saving it with a different name? Could you also please try creating a new folder on your USB and save to that?

Thanks

Same problem here. It happens with all files. I can save only on the iCloud Affinity Photo folder.

Had the same trouble with Affinity Photo and Mac OS 10.12.6. After FocusStacking and long session of dust removal, I could not save nor export. Tried all available drives, always "lack of permissions".

At the end I redid it with two different apps (HeliconFocus and Pixelmator). After that went well, I thought I could risk the loss and quit AP. The usual request was if I want to save, I ticked Yes, didn't change the location and left the "no title" - and it saved! It's usable. After restarting AP, I could also export again.
