Fix for "you don't have permission to save to..."

[Ant Rhonda]

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but it's been a problem with Affinity Photo --- and then Win 10 stonewalled me when I needed to save a zipped folder containing mp3 files, nothing to do with anything Affinity! The punch line is "contact your administrator..." and like many of us here, I AM the administrator as well as the only user of this computer, and hadn't the least idea how to contact me.

A bit of Google searching fixed the problem fast. It's in the folder properties' security tab, and the fix is to give the relevant accounts "full control" by clicking on "Edit." NOTE THAT I'm not sure how good an idea this is if one is NOT the only user of the computer, but it worked for me. No more burrowing down to some inane Windows-defined folder on my overloaded 😄 drive just to get my own file into my own appropriate folder. 

PS: LibriVox is sort of the Gutenberg project of audio readings. Public domain, volunteer (and often very good) narrators. Downloads are always zip folders no matter how small.

The what file? mp3 is the extension of compressed sound files. I am pretty sure Affinity Photo does not create sound files. Even if it did, it is rather pointless to insert them into zip files.

Sorry, I should have said "Zipped folder containing Mp3 files." That's how LibriVox does downloads. Thanks for the catch!
