Document failed to save

[orangefizz]

Getting this now in 2024 in Photo v2.5 (build 2463) on OS X Ventura. I can't install the newest release because I don't want to lose the work I have open (not that the newest release would necessarily help).

This is a major bug. The devs should probably stop whatever they're doing and work on fixing this problem. If you can't save documents there's no point using the app. I'm at a standstill.

I just ran some tests. I had copied and pasted two layers from a different document that were made using the paintbrush. When I remove those pasted layers, the document saves. When I leave them in, the error gets thrown. If you rasterize those layers, the document saves.

Evidently it's not just un-rasterized brush effects causing this problem. I have some grouped items that prevent the file from saving. Everything in those layers is rasterized. Additionally, trying to export the document as a PDF fails.

This behavior began after I started using 1. Assets and 2. Brushes.

No other changes to speak of.

Other errors:
"Save failed because control of the lock file was lost."
"Save failed because the file could not be written to."

Where are you saving to?

Hi @orangefizz

I noticed you've also mentioned this issue in another post where my colleague @Pauls has asked for a sample file with the brush layers you copied and pasted. Would you be able to provide this?
