I’ve recently been getting an occasional error while trying to save files. It’s been happening every couple days or so, the error message says that it has failed because “The temporary file could not be renamed”. If I try to save it a second time it gives me the typical read-only dialog like if you …

[image] LeoPedersen: The error messages I’ve been getting include “unable to save temporary file” every time, if that’s any help. Do you know what I can try to repeat this?

I tried using Hops within a huge definition, then later deleted the only instance of Hops which was within that same definition, but since then this file save error kept recurring until I uninstalled Hops. Looking at my file directory I am seeing all of the leftover .3dm_tmp files referred to by th…

What service release of Rhino are you using? I may need to use the exact same SR to repeat this bug. Thanks for the info

[image] pascal: @gian - does saving to the desktop work as expected? -Pascal Hi @Pascal , I think you hit the point: saving to desktop (or any other local unit) does solve the problem. Saving to my network unit (NAS) does present the same “read only” problem. So I suppose it’s a problem w…

There’s another thing that may be at play here, in addition to Hops. There’s a new advanced setting in 7.5 that attempts to speed up saving to network drives. I’m curious if disabling it change the read-only error? Here’s how: In Rhino, click Tools > Options In the Advanced tab, type WriteLocal …

IT WORKED !!! Disabling WriteLocal setting did the trick: now saving is possible again without read-only problems! It was a really annoying trouble and I was definitely getting mad. Thank you @brian !

Hi @stevebaer I’m sorry this means more work: on the other side it’s a good thing we finally focused the thing a little better. I post here my SystemInfo but consider that this “bug” happens on four different PCs in my studio. All different in hardware configuration: common things are, apart for t…
