Ivan Seymus Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hi, I downloaded the 90day trial … thanks a lot! (and cancelled my CC subscription) Problem: created a logo in Designer that I wanted to save on an external drive: Error. Tried to copy it through the finder: same error. I can save the file locally but don't seem to be able to move it to an external drive (connected by USB-C through dongle on MacBook Pro 15") System: Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4 Thnx a lot for the help!

Gear maker Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Welcome to the forum Ivan, had you closed Affinity Designer before trying to move the file? I have read that sometimes just closing the document is not enough. I haven't had a problem moving my files to an external drive after AD is closed.

KC Honie Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 You might try going to "System Preferences / Security & Privacy / Privacy" and try giving AD access to files and folder or full disk access... Let us know if that helped...

After restart I was able to move the file. So I'm still not sure what the reason was. If we knew what Error code -50 means, that could indicate the cause … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
