Process Explorer gives me the name of the original problem file: 211029_E9_Block.3dm
(I right-click>properties>Rhino.exe to see this window)
However, the file I have open and running at the time of this screenshot is my _saveAs file: 211029_E9_Block_2.3dm
To me, it looks like compute.geometry.exe is blocking my file.
I have seen compute.geometry.exe block files before in the Task Manager.
What version of Hops do you have installed? This was an issue several versions ago that was fixed (or at least I thought I fixed it).
Looks like you have 0.4.1 installed. @will and @Trav the UI for the package manager is not very clear on this subject. It is easy enough to think that 0.10.1 is installed based on the above screenshot.
@kevin3 I believe this old version of Hops may have been the problematic one that you need to either remove or install a newer version over.
I don’t think so. Kevin was getting an error code of 32 which is different than what you were getting. I also think we now understand the cause of his problem and this will go away once he installs a newer version of Hops
@stevebaer so it seems like you abandoned the idea of searching the cause of the issue affecting my (and other similiar?) system, did you?
Consider that, if possible, I can go on searching for the issue origin on my own: I just need some indication from you about the right tools I could use, to make the correct moves in that direction.
Let me know!
I haven’t given up on this, it’s just that I don’t know what to try next to determine the cause.
I am one month out from this and my problem has not returned.
I am hopeful!
Thanks for the help.
I started having this problem a few days ago. I’m attempting to write to a google drive folder and cannot save new files or existing files on the drive.
WriteLocalTempFileWhenSaving is set to “True” (also tried false and got same errors)
Results of Debug command TestLocalTempWriteDebug gave me: No error detected when saving
I am able to save to desktop.

Hi @stevebaer @brian
Problem came back today with last Rh7 update: seems like the “WriteLocalTempFile…” value in the advanced settings was set back to “True”.
I set it again to “False” and things are working again.
Still any clue yet of what’s causing this?
Hi @gian,
Yes we switched the default to True for this setting in the latest SR with the hope of being able to debug the problem and figure it out. We had a lot of luck with remote debugging on another user’s computer to solve a somewhat related network file bug. Would you be willing to let us get on your computer and try to repeat the error that you are seeing in a remote debugging session?
Thanks,
-Steve
Just started having this issue today. Disabling WriteLocal appears to have fixed the issue.
Saving to a networked drive (Linux server with Samba/SMBD).

Hi @brian , here too the issue is still present.
And also my Fileserver in running on Linux (Raspbian)/SAMBA.
Hi Gianpietro -
Just to make sure… please be specific:
Does disabling WriteLocal on your system solve the issue in 7.21?
-wim
Yes. It does solve.
@stevebaer knows everything about the issue…and about my network, indeed!
