I don’t understand it.
Do you have any extra plug-ins installed?
You might try temporarily disabling them to see if that make the issue go away.
Have you restarted your computer recently?
I’m guessing here.
I am still experiencing this behavior. I hit Save and get the Save As dialogue. The only plug-ins I had were the Octane renderer and the driver for the 3d Connexion mouse, which I have turned off. Is no one else experiencing this?
No—the Save to Save As strangeness does not happen all the time and does not happen when I follow the below but it happens a lot with one particular file which is too large to upload. Any other thoughts?
Just checking to see if you got my file yesterday and if you were able to see the behavior? It’s still happening over here and now in other files as well
Hi Cosmas - the file named FR_ etc etc, correct? I am getting it now. I guess if you want me in particular to see uploads, stick my name in your comments or use my email in the target email. (tech@mcneel.com is the default) It looks like you also had a failed upload - is that the same file or a different thing?
I just tried to call you. I thought I had put your name in the email field (pascal@mcneel.com). Strange. At any rate, though, Pascal, regarding the failed upload – it’s a different file that I sent you this morning that is also doing the same thing (Ctl+S brings up the Save As dialogue). I tried to upload it 2x and I kept getting a failed server message. I have been running in to this for years . Wondering what could be causing it? It was a 165 mb file compressed in to a 115 mb rar file – and it still wouldn’t go through. Any thoughts on that?
You are not alone, if that is any comfort…
Save behaves normally, here, with the file you sent… from V6, but as expected, prompts as SaveAs if saved from V7… does that make any sense with what you see? (V7 contains information that V6 does not support)
When you say “you are not alone, if that is any comfort” are you referring to the failed uploads? Is there a workaround for this? – When we can’t upload our files?
And as for SaveAs coming from V7 – I do have V7 but haven’t used it in this file. It’s no biggy – I can keep using the Save As dialogue and just overwrite the file name that it navigates me to but as a good Rhino citizen, I wanted to put it out there😊
At any rate, I’d like to pin down the problem you’re seeing - if you can, please note, as best you can, what you’ve done when next you see this happen. My guess is user data from plug-ins may be involved but that is speculation.
In fact, if you get this situation, cancel and Audit3dmFile the currently open file, the SaveAs and Audit3dMFile the result, and send me the output from both audits… that may tell us something.
The Municiplaity thanks you for being a solid Rhino citizen…
It’s been several weeks and at least one update and this is still happening☹. You asked me ran in to the following problem:
I’m working away and sometimes I hit Save and it works as normal and some times it pulls up the Save As dialogue.
I cancelled and ran Audit3dmFile in the command line – as you suggested below.
The Open Rhinoceros File opens.
Is this what is supposed to happen? I don’t think so… but I wanted to run it by you.
Thanks.

This is still happening. In fact, it’s getting wierder. Today when I went to hit Save on a file that has been saved many times, I got the Save As dialogue… but when I tried to Save As over the file that I’ve got open (that I’m in) I got an error message saying that I cannot Save because it’s a Read-only file. Following the instructions you sent me above, I ran System Info before actually going through with a Save As. I’m pasting that here and will paste the System Info I get after I go through Save As in the next message.
