Installation OK Cannot Save

[RicReeves]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could help with the error I am getting!?

Every time I try to save in any directory (local or network) I get the following error:

"Can't Save home in
"C:\3d\home.sh3d"
RecorderException: Can't save home C:\3d\home.sh3d
java.io.IOException: Access is Denied"

Any ideas on where to start?

Using Windows 8 and the latest Java and SweetHome3D. Had to install the SweetHome3D.l4j.ini to make it work at all.

Many thanks!

Either C:\3d folder doesn't exist, or you don't have the right to write in that folder.

Did you try in another folder like your desktop?

Hi guys, thanks for the speedy response.

I created the c:\3d folder and can browse to it in the save dialog box.

I have full permissions on the folder (I am an administrator) and have given 'Everyone' full permissions on the folder.

Same error if I try to save to Desktop, and my Documents folder.

Really strange...
And can you save an empty document at least?

[RicReeves]

Can't save a blank document either

[Puybaret]

What did you write in your SweetHome3D.l4j.ini file?

[RicReeves]

There is no need to give java permission to write to the folder(s) I suppose?

The ini file is just the Default Direct3D one as downloaded from the site.

Contents:

# Place this file in the same directory as SweetHome3D.exe file to always run Sweet Home 3D with DirectX
-Dj3d.rend=d3d
-Dsun.java2d.d3d=true
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=false
-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=true
-Dsun.java2d.ddscale=true
-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.deploymentInformation=DirectX

There is no need to give java permission to write to the folder(s) I suppose?

That would be a little tedious for many users... [;)]
