Hi there,
When I return to my workplace after a longer break I have to Force quit Rhino since the error “The document could not be autosaved. The file doesn’t exist” shows up. The original file is located on a server but that was never a problem until now. It’s very annoying since the file can’t be saved/duplicated manually anymore and the objects can’t be copy-pasted into another file.
@dan I think the problem is gone with 5.4.2 since I haven’t seen the error for a while @bigjimslade There have not been any special characters in the file name
@dan I think the problem returned with version 5.5.2. I don’t experience it that often anymore but it still happens especially when working on large files located on the server. Maybe it is also our network connection which interrupts for a second. Anyway it’s very annoying that the file can’t be re-saved or overwritten in this case. I need to force quit and sometimes loose the last 10 minutes of work since the last auto-save.
Hello, I am experiencing this same issue with Rhino6 for mac when working “Live” on my Google Drive Local disk. Also never have I experienced that until now.
I am not sure, I installed Catalina since it came out and I have had rhino6 since a while ago. I usually work Live on many files from google drive and icloud and never have had this issue. Now, every time I open a file it says this file cannot be autosaved, and then I have to export or duplicate in order to save it, it does not even let me save as and replace the file.
I have the same problem with Rhino Version 6 (6.22.20028.13212, 2020-01-28) on Catalina v 10.15.2 working live on GoogleDrive. Can not be sure when it began (in the last couple of months), and I keep my OS and Rhino regularly updated. Anecdotally, I’m having a similar problem with microsoft excel.
In the meantime, I believe I solved it myself in the same way that the Excel problem was fixed. Rhino needs ‘Full Access’ to the hard drive including GDrive. See below. I hope someone else finds this useful…
The problem remains (or has come back). I’m keeping all my software updated and it’s not getting better. I know it’s not the topic here, but I have the same problem with MSOffice documents.
Does anyone have a clue to why this is happening and how to solve it?
Hey there.
I had/have the same issue with “this file could not be saved”.
Only happened when I would save in a location that is synched on Google Drive.
Solution (this far) for me:
go to system preferences/privacy/full disk access
hit the “+” button, find google drive, click “open”
this tells you to quit and re-open google drive to allow full disk access, do that.
