Re: "don't have sufficient privileges" when saving files

Problem solved, and it was "my fault"—rather it was caused by the Bitdefender antivirus software running on my MacBook. I had previously disabled it, to see if that was the issue, and it seemed to make no difference. But when I was poking around the Bitdefender notifications area I found t...

Re: "don't have sufficient privileges" when saving files

Thorsten, I tried a bunch of Gatekeeper-related checks and tests, and found nothing. I finally decided to try purchasing GC 11 from the app store, even though I own/paid for a version from your web site (I've purchased at least since GC 4), and it seems to work just fine! Who knows what is going on,...

Re: "don't have sufficient privileges" when saving files

Hmmm...I installed GC 10 and it saves everywhere just fine for me. Is there somewhere I can download 11.1.2 or an earlier version of 11 to test?

Re: "don't have sufficient privileges" when saving files

Hi again. What I'm trying to figure out is why GC is the only application I have (it seems) that has this issue, and why only recently. Every other application I use regularly, and all I've tested, save ("Save As" etc.) in those places just fine.

Re: "don't have sufficient privileges" when saving files

Hi Thorsten. User writeable, of course, but are you saying it has to be group writeable? If so, is that new? I can't be sure but this all seemed to start with the last update. I have not knowingly changed the permissions on my home directory (or children). I do see an empty temp file being created i...

Re: "don't have sufficient privileges" when saving files

I used the Finder info window Permissions "Apply to enclosed items..." as you suggested, and no effect. However I have noticed two things. I have a vanilla test account (for some dev work) and from that I am able to save files w/o issue. And, back in my account, it seems that if I make a f...

Re: "don't have sufficient privileges" when saving files

Hi again. Since my last post I ran a disk check/repair (Disk Utility), rebooted, trashed current install of GC and re-downloaded (from your site in Germany) and re-installed GC, and the behavior persists. I checked the system.log and here are some log entries mentioning GC in case that helps: Mar 9 ...

Re: "don't have sufficient privileges" when saving files

Hi Thorsten. Yes—sorry I should have mentioned that. GC has full disk access permissions. I am unable to save files to the Desktop, for example, from GC; I can open the exact same files in Preview and they save just fine on the Desktop, etc. Thanks.
