Rhino opening every file as read only?

running v6 SR27, i think i just updated within the hour, all my files are opening as read only now.

Hello - if you open a file from the desktop - does that open read only?

-Pascal

yeah, it does

Hm - what message do you see, if any, as you open? Can you make a screen shot of that?

-Pascal

ERROR

EDIT: oh sorry, that’s the error for the attempted save. i get no warnings when opening the file

Hello - if you find that file in Windows Explorer, and look at its properties, is it marked as read only by Windows?

-Pascal

it’s unchecked

A couple of things before I call on the bigger brains - are you logged into Windows as Administrator? Does anything change if you right click on the Rhino icon and choose ā€˜Run as Administrator’? And, I assume but just making sure, Rhino is the only affected program? You can save from say Notepad or something?

-Pascal

logged in as admin, same behavior with running rhino as admin, and it’s the only program that is having the issue. i’ve even rebooted twice.

@kleerkoat - if you do save via SaveAs, can you then Save or must you SaveAs again?

-Pascal

have to use SaveAs

OK- thanks - even the smarter people than me are mystified by this behavior, so we’ll probably ask more useless questions until we get to the right one… so other saves from Rhino work as expected, Export, ViewCaptureToFile , even a Grasshopper document would be worth a try ?

Also, please run SystemInfo and post the results… you never know what plug-in might be getting involved somehow.

Does anything work differently if you run Rhino in Safe Mode, btw?

To start Rhino in Safe Mode: Windows start menu, type in ā€˜Rhinoceros’ and look for the ā€˜Rhinoceros in Safe Mode’ entry.

-Pascal

other saves work as intended, safe mode still read only, thanks

Could you try going to the ā€œOptions/Filesā€ page and un check the ā€œEnable file lockingā€ option. When this is done try opening and saving a file and let me know if it makes a difference. I would not recommend leaving this option off as a long term to your problem but am interested to know if it affects the save behavior.

Thanks for the report and details - we can repeat this here now.

Hi -
Do you have this issue with any file?
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.
